Oh, get me to the church on time...

We wanted our friends to know that we have had a last minute change in our holiday plans. Delynn got an unexpected blessing: a year-end bonus from PacifiCorp. So, she will be making a quick trip back to Walla Walla, Washington (yes, it is a real place) for our nephew Chris' wedding. She was not supposed to get a bonus - normally employees have to work until September to qualify. We have surmised that because she "retired" in July that they grandfathered her in. Anyway, we are not about to look a gift horse in the mouth (Hmmm - I haven't tried explaining that saying to our German or Swiss friends...). We found a round trip ticket for an excellent price (considering the price of international flights...) so after much prayer and deliberation we decided to send her. It will be a 4-day dash round-trip (no time for jet lag) but it will be good for her to attend. Unfortunately, due to the timing, Delynn will not have time to see anyone but family and go to the wedding. Bill, Ruth and the sisters are quite excited that she is able to come. I'll be holding down the fort here in Weil a. R, while she is gone. (I have already had a couple of invitations to "hang out" which will keep me occupied). Please keep Delynn in your prayers for a good trip.
