Rest in Peace

So today I took down (a tad sadly) our Travel Tree.

If you have followed my little blog for a while (and why on earth would you not?), you may remember that Robert and I have a second, smaller Christmas Tree which we call our Travel Tree. All the ornaments are ones we have purchased on our various travels.

As I cleared the little white tree, my eyes kept resting on a couple of simple ornaments.

And I didn’t want to hurriedly take them off. So I let them hang around a while longer.

HR and I have visited Plains, GA, hometown of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, a couple of times, appreciating the small town that birthed such a tremendously kind and humanitarian couple.

May President Carter, as he is being laid to rest this evening next to his beloved Rosalynn, finally Rest in Eternal Peace, after a long life well lived.
