Peter, Paul, and Mary

Peter, Paul, and Mary, No not the apostles and the mother of Jesus. I'm talking about the singing group from the 60's. They sang a song that went something like this...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the sun is rising, it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry......

This evening (Wednesday) at 6:00 PM we took our check-in luggage to the church. We took our bags this evening so we would mot have to go even earlier that our scheduled 3:45 AM reporting time on Thursday. Javier weighed the bags. All of our bags were within the weight limit except Callie's. She was over by a pound and a half. She had to sit down right there in the parking lot and remove a few bricks. Javier wrapped yellow tape around each of the bags so they will be readily identifiable in case some nut decides to pick up one of our bags and run. If a stranger picks up a bag with yellow tape we will imediately gang tackle and doggie pile. The bags were loaded in the bus. After a quick team photo we went our separate ways, except Javier and Lauri of course, who went the same way. The alarm is going to go off way to early.

Randy Mac what a wonderful blog you are doing, or at least so far. I am looking forward to reading more about the trip while you and the team are in Estonia. I will continue to pray for the team but will now start my prayer with "lettuce pray!"
