You know the song The Ants go Marching One by One Hurrah Hurrah? It’s sung to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home Hurrah Hurrah. My husband started singing that song and now it is stuck in my head. It’s stuck in my head EVERYDAY!
And worse, I know the words but I don’t have all the tune. I can’t make the words fit in what I know of the tune. This is my husband’s fault and it’s driving me crazy!
I know the ants go down, to the ground, because it starts to rain. I was thinking about that song all day because it rained.
It was a drizzly rain all day long. Fortunately the walk from Combarro to Armenteira was only about 7 miles. Initially the uphill was steep but then it worked itself into some gentle rises on a paved road, and at the end it seemed to fall apart with a steep rocky decline. Nonetheless I made it. Even with out the Ant Song 😉

I am me, a person with love for others, a passion to be creative, and a desire to be a cheerleader for others. I’m a wife, a mommy, and a grandma (you can call me by my grandma name “Lady M”).
I’m on a search to grow and connect more fully with God. I didn’t grow up particularly church, married a man who had, and we raised our three daughters in the church. I found a place to belong in the church and somehow discerned a call to go to seminary. I received a Masters of Arts and Religious Communication (MARC). I went on to become ordained as a deacon in the United Methodist Church and served in media ministry and Christian education. As clergy I found that I didn’t have a place to belong in the church so I left the United Methodist Church in 2010.
I still believe and I’m still on a quest to draw closer to God. And I’m going to walk the Camino de Santiago.
