What is my purpose in this life

Sometimes as I look at the people around and notice the things they do in life I wonder if I really do anything important or lasting as I go about the days. I help our kids when they ask for help, pray for them and thank God for them. Is that enough or should I be doing more?
I have several part time jobs but is cleaning offices and detesting it at the same time doing important things? I also help my brother in law when he asks me to help at his lawn furniture store. It's not an exciting job, actually pretty meh so that's probably not memorable.
I take my mom to run her errands, to Dr,'s appts, pay her bills and help her make decisions. That's very important but probably not memorable.
My sister often calls me when they need help with something or need a ride somewhere. Important? Probably, but is it memorable?
The rest of my siblings often call me for advice, recipes or help in figuring things out. I guess that's important.
I'm at my happiest when it's just me and my husband together whether it's on road trips or doing jobs together. That's when I feel most secure and relaxed. I love puttering around our house and just being at home. Basically I'm a very introverted person. I don't mind being alone and especially I love being int the woods or just outdoors. I love summer so much but I'm usually content in all seasons.
I hope when I get to stand in front of God, He will say Well done, because most days I don't feel like  have accomplished anything important

Finally A Vacation

Elmer and I have never gone on an actual vacation! Oh, we have taken a weekend road trip or the many camping trips but to actually go somewhere for more than a few days, nope just didn't happen. Finally, last year, we decided to go for our 40th anniversary. We made reservations to stay at a Treehouse Inn, something I had been wanting to do forever. We made plans, bought new luggage, a few new clothes; then disaster. Elmer had, had a hip replacement and now he had an infection. The day we were supposed  to be leaving he was in surgery. I called the Treehouse and told them the story. Despite the policy of no late rescheduling they agreed to let us do it. So today we finally left. We saw lots of beautiful trees And rocks on the way.

Our reservations aren't actually until tomorrow so we took the long way and headed to Sikeston MO first. We ate at Lamberts the home of the thrown roll.  The food was delicious, very much comfort food. The cucumbers and onions were so good along with the fried okra which was served on the napkin.

The tableware was definitely unique!

We decided to get a room here in Sikeston, then head out tomorrow and slowly wend our way to the Treehouse. These Roses were at the hotel and smelled so good!

Some anecdotes and thoughts from today:We overheard a young boy loudly complaining to his dad about an argument and name calling that had happened. The dad asked, "What was the benefit of arguing? Was there a benefit from arguing?"
The boy replied, "The benefit was in being right!"
We didn't hear the rest because we both started laughing and they moved away.

Summer is the season of revealing skin that shouldn't necessarily be revealed.

Just because a dress is stretchy doesn't mean that you should wear one that is 4 sizes too small
