Heading home

We left a warm, muggy New Orleans morning for home about 8am Saturday.

Jan, Lori & Liz

We ran into a few rain showers and realized the drastic temperature change when we got out to stretch our legs at Lake Enid in Northern Mississippi.
The temperature had dropped about 30 degrees from when we left New Orleans which sent us all scrambling for our coats.


We stayed at the Drury Inn at Sikeston, Missouri Saturday night. This was our 5th stay at this hotel. Let me say, these folks know how to do customer service right! They always provide us a meeting room and even moved up the breakfast time to accomodate us so we could get on the road heading home a little earlier.



And of course, no trip to Sikeston, Missouri is complete without dinner at Lamberts, home of the throwed rolls.

Now that's a chunk of ham!





If you leave Lamberts hungry it's no one's fault but your own!



We safely arrived home at 4pm Sunday afternoon.

Some of us were in huge denial of the snow and temperature, weren't we Everett?



This was a wonderful 2 weeks with great projects and people. If you would like to hear more about this trip, we will be having a presentation at the Wednesday evening service at Crossroads Freeport campus on February 18th at 6:30.

Thanks for following along with us.
