Hey guys,
        I haven't even begun to pack.  I'm still doing laundry.  But, they
tell me that we are heading out at 5:30 am. tomorrow morning for a
vacation.  I guess that it is true.  I won't be reading any more
email, so you don't need to respond.  I just wanted to let you know
why I'm not talking.

Please pray for travel mercies for Greg and Liz and Caleb and myself.
Please pray for Matt and Chris, left behind.  Pray for their safety
as both boys will be heavily using their bikes to get to and from
work at night.  Pray that they will get along when they are home
together and that they will especially remember to take good care of
the animals.  Also, I probably don't need to say this, but please
pray for Chris, that God will stear him away from his own foolishness
and that he will manage to stay out of trouble while we are gone.

Also, one of the reasons that we are going to Michigan is to
celebrate my parents' 60th wedding anniversary.  Isn't that
great?  I'm praising God for such an awsome example of faithfulness
and commitment in this crazy world.

I'm not going no mail because Iseem to have problems getting
reconnected.  Besides, I want to go over all the messages when I get
back to be sure that you guys don't,  well, never mined!  GRIN!

Ned, I'll get back to you about my piano when I return.    I haven't
forgotten.  I'm just too distracted to get the important things done.

God bless guys.  I'll probably say "HI," around the 17th.  then I"m
off for another weekend and will be back, full time on the 22.

Love you all,
Kathy
