Well friends, we are safely back in Pace. Our luggage, however, is not - none of the seven bags. So if we are looking a little shabby at church tomorrow, then you will know why! Hopefully, it will come in to Pensacola today! But, we all made it safely and you know, that is really all that matters.
God bless you all. Can't wait to see you tomorrow.

Headin' Home
Well, as you can tell, we have truly had the trip of a lifetime. We are so glad that you have traveled along with us via the "blog." Although we have had the time of our lives, we are ready to be home. Our only regret is that we cannot tuck Mike and Alice into our suitcases and bring them with us. Our plan is to arrive into Montgomery around 7:00 p.m. Thursday night. Our dear friends from Montgomery, Charles and Mary Charles Agerton, will be meeting us at the airport. As of now, our plan is to drive on into Pensacola Thursday night - assuming no delays with the airlines.
We love you all and look so forward to seeing you in church on Sunday!

Slow Days!
Well, with all the activity going on, we had a couple of days yesterday and today. Yesterday, we drove 40 minute to another country. That still amazes me that you can cross countries so quickly. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, a constitutional monarchy, is an independent sovereign state, tucked between Belgium, France and Germany. The country is 51.7 miles long and 32 miles wide, encompassing an area of 999 square miles with a population of 459,600.
Today, we had a really lazy day. We slept in and then went to the base on a little shopping trip. On the way to the base, we went through Dudledorf. Jason enjoyed finding out a little historical tidbit while there. During WWII, General Patton marched his troops through the town and his tanks got stuck under the arch. They finally got them through, but they left deep ridges in the arch which you can see in
pictures below.
Our funny moment for the day happened at base. Alice was taking funny pictures of the girls at the BX. Alice had walked away. Several minutes later, a cashier who had been watching from across the store yelled, "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY IN THIS STORE!" Lily said, "Oh, I'm sorry." Then she snapped, "AND YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE PICTURES EITHER!" Lily says she will never grace that store with her presence again!
I just am glad we made it out of the store without Lily, Anna and Alice getting thrown into the brigg!!
Love to all!
