Getting Ready to Travel

This is a busy week as we prepare to leave for Slovakia. We will travel separately so pray we meet on the other side of the world safely. I'm hoping it will be warmer than here. I'm fighting a cold for the first time in over a year so I hope I can get some rest while I'm away as well! I don't know how you fit rest into a conference and meeting people but I will have to try. We may try to go up to Poland as well for a couple of days but we'll see.

Yesterday we spent hours at the bank opening an account for NLI now that the government has approved all the red tape. Banks are thieves. It is unbelievable what charges they levy for everything! The lady that worked with us was awesome and let us joke so that helped the process.

I had a scare Sat. night or should I say Monday morning. 2:30 AM I heard a knock on my back door. My husband was away on a ministry trip and both boys were sleeping. There was "NO WAY" I was going to open the door. I peeked out the kitchen window and saw a rather small person with a ivory knitted toque and an ivory 3/4 jacket. I thought it was a woman but I wasn't sure. Whoever walked off my deck and was trying to get through the gate but was pushing it the wrong way. I watched for "the person" to walk down the driveway to see if I could see who it was in the street light. I never did figure out who it was. I wondered if one of my neighbor ladies was in trouble as the person did look more like the frame of a woman but I will never know! It was rather frightening though. Our wonder dog didn't hear the person either. He is so deaf now.

So that is a snapshot of the past few days...just the usual...life stuff otherwise.
