Hi, everyone. Welcome to At Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson, and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every week

to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement, and I am just so

glad that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.

Hello, my wonderful friends.

This is Sally Clarkson, and I'm so glad you joined me today.

Oh, my goodness, I almost forgot to do a podcast today.

I happened to be for the first time in over 10 years on a short, week-long getaway with my husband, Clay. And we haven't been

alone away on a trip like this in over 10 years. And so it's really been fun. And I think we both

have needed some rest and refreshment and relaxation,

because if you're like us, we, of course, have four adult children, four grandchildren, and lots of different friends.

And we have had so many wonderful friends visiting us this spring, but a lot.

And then, of course, our precious

Killian Nathan stayed with us in the summers. And then Sarah and her crew with four children

came for about 10 days as well as other people. And we have had trips, deadlines. I was in

Oxford for a month. And to make a long story short,

I don't think we realized how much we needed to break away. I hope that each of you is getting

a break at some point or finding ways to refresh yourself. But anyway, many, many years ago,

probably about 18 or 20, let me see. I am thinking maybe 25 years ago,

we've lived in Colorado several different times in between the moves to other places and in between

the move to Oxford. And we found this wonderful, charming town in Colorado, and I'm not going to tell you where it is.

And it's just lovely.
