One more step completed.  Helen and Doug Lansing shipped off all our blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, etc. and they should arrive a day ahead of us at the seminary.  Why are we shipping bedding?  Wouldn't it be simpler to just put it in our suitcases?  Well, yes, but now with the new restrictions on luggage, it becomes very expensive to check in bulky stuff like pillows and sleeping bags.  So, we've tried the UPS route.  Of course, we could have tried to rough it up there without some of our comfort pieces like a favorite pillow.  But I think a piece or two of comfort and familiarity are worth the price of a UPS delivery charge.  Don't you?

Hello to all members and friends of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Rome, GA.  This blog is created to help record our trip to New York City on a pilgrimage and mission trip June 4-8, 2009.  Perhaps it could be a place for even more?
