Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Starting off on Sunday, Amy wasn’t feeling the greatest. She was having shooting pains from her neck into her shoulders and back, so she didn’t sleep well and opted to stay home and sleep instead of going to church. Later, Amy started feeling better and our whole family went to lunch at a friends house. Amy was hesitant about going at first, but later told me that she was glad we went. We had to cut our lunch visit short as Amy and I had reservations at the Inn at Wawanissee Point out on Tower rd in Baraboo and we wanted to enjoy every moment we would have there. This bed and breakfast has been open for two years and is a hidden treasure! The 10,000 sq foot Inn is placed on 42 acres and sits high up on the bluffs and you can see the Wisconsin river out the huge picture window that covers the back wall of the great room where if you look through the telescope placed near the window, you can actually see the dome of the capitol building located in Madison (over 40 miles away!). From the double bridge natural spring path out front to the wildflowers and 3 miles of private walking paths out back, this place is incredible! We stayed in the ‘Bordeaux’ room and this room, as the name implies, is painted a deep red; sports a king-sized bed and a spa-tub. Amy and I were the only ones staying there for the night and as such, had a very special time getting to know the owners Trudy and Dave. At 5:30pm, they have a ‘wine & cheese’ hour where Trudy served a homemade bruschetta that was incredible! We shared Amy’s story with them and they shared a bit of their history with us. Around 6:00pm, Amy and I left the Inn to go to supper and we took the Merrimac ferry across the river to a place called Fish Tails where Amy had king crab legs and I had a New York strip steak…neither of us finished our meals because there was SO much! The excitement and activity of the day had finally caught up with Amy as she started falling asleep at our table. She wouldn’t surrender to her state of exhaustion however as she had plans to utilize the spa-tub back in our room. Soon we were back at the inn and as I stowed our leftovers in the fridge, Amy headed upstairs to our room. True to her plans, she filled the tub and prepped herself for a good long soak. After she got in and started the jets, as I was helping her look for the matches to light the candle that sat next to the tub, we found some aromatherapy bath bubbles and added them to her bath. Soon, the bubbles had expanded so much that they had practically encased Amy and she was laughing and giggling unlike I’ve heard her in quite some time…it was at that very moment that I knew I would have spent anything to hear her laugh…to see her enjoy herself like she did then. Later, we lay in bed talking about supper, the tub and this place. I know this was a ‘slice of time’ a mere blip in the scale of our lives, but God blessed us with a time where Amy’s recovery didn’t matter, where my work didn’t matter, where the cares of this world didn’t matter. All that mattered to me was God’s blessing and we were together. We woke up and yet down to a great breakfast of fresh fruit, homemade granola and Eggs en Cocoette Lorraine. All the while looking out the back window over the 36 mile vista that is their view. We watched humming birds feed and a wild turkey strut across the lower lawn.
