Wednesday Medley: National Lighthouse Day

1.  Let's start with a number! How many lighthouses have you visited?  I'm not really sure how many total I've visited over the years, but I just visited 3 while on vacation. I saw a lot more than that, but only from a distance and someone had to point them out because most of them were very small and not at all what you think of when you think of a lighthouse.

2.  Have you been inside a lighthouse and did you walk to the top?  I have, but I didn't go to the top of any on this vacation. I didn't think the knee or the hip could do it. This one is on Assateague Island, VA. It was closed for repairs the last time we were there, but I did climb to the top the first time we went.

3.  Do you seek them out when you are traveling the coastlines or are you not that big a fan?  They are cool, but I'm not that big of a fan. I don't hunt them out on purpose.

4.  Do you have a favorite scripture or another reference to share with us concerning a guiding light in your life?  Psalm 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path..." I like that it reminds me that no matter what I am facing, God's Word will show me the way to move forward.

5.  If you don't collect lighthouses when you travel, is there something tangible that you tend to collect as a souvenir when you are on vacation or a road trip?  When it comes to souvenirs I buy pretty eclectic stuff. I just get what I like. Oh, I do bring home stones from a lot of places. Stones are small and easy to pack and at home they look good displayed in a dish or bowl, a magnet glued to the back makes them handy for hanging notes and such, and rubbing them with a little olive oil with a few drops of essential oil mixed in makes them shiny and great natural ways to add scent.

6.  Please share something with us about your week.  I spent 3 hours today at the DMV to renew my license. I was there for an hour before finding out I was waiting for the wrong line because I needed to fill out some extra form. Grrrr. So, I got a new number for the correct line and settled in to wait again. 

Sitting there it crossed my mind that there were a LOT of people with numbers after mine so I looked around and at the end of the row I was sitting in there was an older couple, the man was on oxygen. I asked the wife if they were waiting for the "A" line and they were. So, I asked if their number was after the one I had and it was...by quite a bit. I gave them the number I couldn't use and they were so thankful! 

The really cool thing is that they started asking people what number they had and gave their number to someone way down the list and told them why they were doing it and to pass it on. That person found someone to give their number to and then I moved to a different area so I don't know if it kept going or not...but how awesome was that?! I love seeing the ripple effect in motion.
