John, Mark, Matthew and Christopher are taking the opportunity they missed growing up as Minnesota farm boys to spend some extended time with the Allen grandparents down in Florida. The plane leaves for Sarasota at 6:20 AM from Minneapolis/St. Paul. Mom and Dad get to go as “escorts,” but the oldest three have elected to stay back at the fort, having “things to do, places to go, people to meet,and…animals to chore. It should be an adventure for them as they will be “on their own,” though they will have each other, and the Stadem family as well. Our prayers are with them, and those who will be traveling as well.
“The LORD will protect your going out and your coming forth, from this time forth and forever.” Psalm 121:8
