As I was packing, I picked out some movies to take and watch. The Holy Spirit distinctly had me take our DVD copy of Dan in Real Life, starring Steve Carell.
The condominium was located in a resort near a small town not far from where our older daughter had previously lived for a year. We were familiar with much of the trip there, but we had never been in that particular community before.
There is a character in the movie called "Ruthie" -- "Ruthie 'pig-face' Draper," to be exact, played by a very young Emily Blunt.
The story is about a middle-aged widower, Dan (Carell), who has three school-age daughters. They travel to his parents' house for a weekend with extended family. While he is there, he meets a woman, Marie, in a bookstore, and they are very attracted to each other. It turns out that Marie is Dan's brother's new girlfriend and she is there to spend the weekend in the same house. Nobody but Dan and Marie know about this, however, so comedy ensues.
Dan's parents know he is having struggles with his kids, and it has been four years since he lost his wife, so they set him up with a date. Marie and Dan's brother agree to go with them. The date's name is Ruthie, but the guys remember her as "pig-face," apparently because she had some unfortunate facial features. As the family is waiting for her to arrive, Dan's brothers serenade him with a song about his soon-to-be porcine companion. (It's worth a listen: here.) When Ruthie shows up, she is no longer "pig-face." She's a plastic surgeon.
Dan and Marie are eventually married at the end of the movie.
My wife and I enjoyed our time at the condominium and reported conditions back to my mom's friend.
About a month later, he offered the remaining condominium nights to us. He didn't want to go, and he could not get anyone in his family interested. We readily agreed.
This second time, the trees were gorgeous and the autumn colors were at their peak. We drove around and enjoyed them. There were many political signs up at that time, too, because the general election was less than a month away.
Antrim County received considerable attention after the election because the Democrat Party candidate received significantly more votes than the Republican Party candidate. Anyone who knows that county, or had driven around it in October like we did, knows that just could not be correct. The Republican campaign signs far outnumbered those of the other party. It turned out the results were wrong, and corrections were made, but it was a huge "red flag" that something was not right. To this day, Antrim County, Michigan is the only jurisdiction in the country to have the voting machines forensically audited1, and the report states the machines were insecure, voting results were unreproducible and computer history logs were deleted. (I have copies of both the redacted and unredacted versions of the report.) As I write this post in April of 2021, the election results are still being contested.

My wife died the day after Inauguration Day. Soon afterward, I realized that Dan in the movie was a widower, and that our watching that movie had foreshadowed my wife's death. I do not know what it means, if anything, but those circumstances have both produced a lot of tears, and provided a lot of comfort.
I do not know what tomorrow will bring, but as Dan's last line in the movie says, I should, "plan to be surprised."
All glory to God.

UPDATE, June 22, 2021...
1This Antrim County audit was a forensic audit of the voting machines only, and was in support of a lawsuit by an Antrim County resident. The court ordered a "forensic audit" be done in Antrim County, but what resulted was essentially a partial recount, which is not a forensic audit.
Patrick Colbeck is a former Michigan State Senator, and he describes what a forensic audit is at this link: letsfixstuff.org. A forensic audit collects information that can stand up in court.
The State of Arizona has completed a forensic audit of 100% of the votes cast in the Maricopa County (Phoenix), AZ 2020 November Election, and the results will apparently be made public in the middle of August, 2021. Other states are considering doing forensic audits of their 2020 elections.
UPDATE, August 30, 2022...
Since I wrote this post and last updated it, I have learned about our actual history and real American Government. These elections are not the elections we are owed on the Soil/Land Jurisdictions. They are simply proxy elections of foreign government-services corporations and only give people the impression they have a voice. They are manifestations of the Darkness and serve to divide people: "Democrats" versus "Republicans." They are a distraction and a waste of time.
Notice that symbols of the Democratic and Republican Parties are included in the "Secret Societies" graphic in the Manifestations post.
I discussed this in updates of the Authority post.

As I have said many times, I do not believe in coincidence, not anymore.
Amazing.......
