traveling











I was on a plane for the first time since my husband proposed to me. That was 27 years ago this Easter. Much has changed and much is the same. Either the seats are much smaller than I remember or I'm much larger than I was then (??), the peanuts and soft drinks are the same, same take off and landing, but no barf bags this time and we all know security is very different. There is much you must do at the airport unaccompanied by friends or family who are not flying with you these days. That is a sad change.

Another new thing for me is the digital camera. My daughter-in-law helped me figure out how to use it. I was able to take 146 photos without any film. I figured out how to share some of them here with a little help from Blogger - aren't you proud of me?
Since I haven't been on a plane for almost 30 years, haven't been to Florida since the 5th grade, haven't been away from home or my husband for more than 5 days in a row in as many years - I dub this "A Momentous Occasion!"

My "Benning Boy"...


just graduated from boot camp. Army Reserves. Thinking about going regular Army.
Intercession takes on ever increasing intensity.
