Off to France

As almost all of you know, we have received our visas.  We have tickets to France on Sept 8.  The things we are shipping have been delivered to the shipping warehouse (many thanks to our pastor Brad for his help).  We have sold the car.  Most of the little furniture we have left is sold also.  It will be picked up, delivered, etc. on Monday and we will go to son Ken's for a return party for his oldest daughter, Alyssa, who has been dancing with a Christian ballet company and now retired because of back problems.  My other son, Phil, will pick us up on Monday evening.  We will spend the last couple of days with him and his wife Penny.  He will then take us to the airport on Wednesday.  More to come once we get there and have news worth sending.
