Meeting

Iowa City, IA

Hello,

Well we planned to leave Brian and Jen’s house at 6:30 am, but did not quite manage that. One reason is that Leroy had set our travel alarm because it does not make a lot of noise and we were sleeping in Sophia’s room. He did not notice that it was still on Mountain Time. I just happened to wake after six to the green glow of Sophia’s clock. So we left half an hour late close to 7:00 when there was a little more traffic. Then I had to go the rest area at a time when we did not need to stop for gas too. After that we needed to make another stop because my foot was hurting and Leroy had put my sandals in the trunk. We got to our destination little more than half an hour late in spite of the fact that I even drove over the speed limit.

The meeting is for pre-retirement. Leroy expects to retire in five years, but it is good to start planning ahead of time. One big question for us is where will we live? This question is also big for most pastors as they seldom live in the town where they served their last parish. That is both problem and freedom to pick anywhere.

I will share with you some of the pictures that we took on our recent trips. Leroy did not alter or edit them much. We simply have not had the time. I am not insulted if you do not want to look at all of them.


Hope you enjoy some of this first set.

Paula
