After Iowa, I headed to the Parents house in Germantown Hills, IL for a couple days. While mostly uneventful due to the need for a major cleaning and maintenance of the Van we did get to do a couple really cool things. The first was to go to the Peoria Riverfront Museum. This is one of the better museums and unique as it is quite eclectic with a mix of an amazing art museum and science oriented exhibits including a planetarium and IMax. One interesting thing about the museum is that it curates a huge portion of its art collection to African American/Black artists, and to spite the big draw of the shark exhibit, what was really moving was going down to the touring “Good Trouble Quilts: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of John Lewis.” What an amazing celebration of a man who fought so hard for the rights of all people by exposing the injustice towards the black communities.
The second cool thing was connecting with Cindy and Patty some close family friends Patty and her husband Ken were some of my biggest supporters through my ordination process and Cindy was my liaison from my session during ordination. While we get together every thanksgiving, it was special to reconnect with just us and my mother.
