On Our Way!




Here we are in the Frankfurt airport! We are in the middle of a long layover...14 hours! The good news is that we only have 3 hours left before we depart for Dubai, the next stop on our long journey to Maputo. Thank you so much for all your prayers for our safety. (Please continue!) The boys, all three, are playing hacky-sack right now.

Thanks to Sally and David for taking us to the airport!

Note to the Book Babes: used the Starbucks card to send us off at the Portland Airport yesterday morning! Thank you!

The Mad Dash!

Dearest Friends:

The mad dash is on! We have six days left before our departure date. All of the loose ends are coming together, we have the "mock" packing of our bags scheduled, and our tickets in hand, visas, passports, and ipods almost uploaded. Now, we need to finish packing up the apartment, deliver our vehicles to their babysitters, and make a hotel reservation for our last days in Corvallis.

We have been overwhelmed by the out pouring of love by all of our friends and family. We are leaving Corvallis in that "party mode" that so typifies our lives. THANK YOU for your love and friendship! You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

My dear book loving friends gave me a Bon Voyage party. I will miss our meetings very much, but will attempt to keep up with the books being read!
