Route 1, Day Six: Sabbath in Melbourne, Florida

First Sabbath day of the new year: January 3rd. We had emailed Darin and Sarah Ragozzine earlier and now meet them at church. They lived in Arlington (Massachusetts) from 2009 to 2011 and once a month were ‘inviters’ for our ‘weekly gathering’ suppers. Chloe is now 9 ½, Abby, who was one of our nursery children, is five. Nathan was born after they left. Sarah fixes a delicious homemade meal of taco salad with chocolate cookies and gingermen for dessert. We play Go Fish and Trouble, their new Christmas game.
Preparing to sleep for the second night in the same bed feels great. We’ll get an early start tomorrow and head for the Keys!
