More good news

Some weeks are just so so. Some are never ending same ol same ol stuff. Some are filled with frustation. And then there are those that just take you by surprise. We had been thinking about going to Germany for over a year now. One thing and then another got in the way. It just didn't look good for this year either. Fares were terrible, fuel was going up again, making it unlikely those fares would be headed in the right direction. We were prepared to postpone again. Then early in the week we got a call from our daughter telling us she was not going to mail our traditional Easter package, we were just going to have to come get it.

So arrangements are in the works for another trip. We won't be doing any touristy things this time. Not only are neither of us in good enough shape, but our daughter is in the middle of a long term commitment that requires her to be home for a substantial number of weeks. So we will just chill. Quite frankly, that sounds really good to both of us right now. Our major concern is the travel part.

We are flying non-stop so won't need to worry about changing planes, but the trip will be hard on Richard. Last time we did this he was really sick for several days on either end. Please be in prayer for him this trip. We do NOT want a repeat.

Our grandson Chris will be house sitting while we are away. He is going to school on line and working here one day a week already. This will be a break for him. He can bring his computer and take his time with the routine work. We will leave plenty of stores for his use too. He will have to cook though.

Richard and I are looking forward to seeing our grandkids after three years. We haven't even seen our daughter in two years. A visit is way over due. Thank you Amy and Juergen. We appreciate you more than you know.
