Drove though rain to get to Eagles Nest.

Stoped by to see Ken and Lee at Graceworks then to the new build.

It’s coming along. Met Ben who is one of the contractors.

The sheetrocks are up. And they’re painting ceilings and seams. Emily wrote on the 2x4.

It’s coming along. We looked at one townhouse model that had floors, doors, cabinetry but no sink. The sink in kitchen is stainless steal. Nice ceiling fans in each room.Read more

Leaving DFW
October 28, 2021 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 59 °F
We were juggling cars today.

Grandad checked Emily and me at terminal D. He has 2 large suitcases (free) and I have 1 piece checked.

The flight looks full. Emily and I are on confirmed seating. So Glenn gave me the house keys ‘just in case.

Glenn has driven the Scion over to Natalie’s brothers place and he’ll she’ll use it while she’s in the states from mid November til the end of the year.

In the meantime, Emily and I are upstairs in the pretty private lounge that most people don’t know about.

Emily is doing her homework.Read more

Made it to GUATEMALA
October 28, 2021 in Guatemala ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
We were thinking Glenn might not make the flight (he’s on a standby flight), however there were some openings!

Emily and I sat together. We ate some snack and even played “Spot it”.

About 1/2 way though the flight I went up and sat with Glenn on the exit row. We had a lengthy conversation with Karry, who was our flight attendant just 2 weeks earlier. We shared prayer requests and hope to connect again.

We made it through customs and immigration.

WELCOME to GUATEMALA!Read more
