3 pm Monday the 30th, we're on our way.

Hi Everyone,
After spending some days in MN with the Laurie, Jeff, Brayden and Dylan and enjoying the two rambunctious, sweet fellas (age 4 & 5) then spending some days in Denver with Jeff and Terri's family, Jeffrery, Stephanie, Katie and Brooke.(ages 6,8,10 &11) I had to get a big 'Nana fix' before leaving for so long. The 6 Grandkids are just that "Grand". It was a wonderful time for Papa Lowell and me. We are so blessed! as all you Grandparents know.... The great news for you prayer warriors is that Terri's Mom is now cancer free from stage 4 cancer. We celebrate by Thanking God for His hand in answering in the affirmative for this beloved Mom of 66, Terri and her 3 sisters are with her now in Florida as she celebrates her birthday.
About our trip - we leave today the 30th from Denver to Detroit, to Paris and land in Strasbourg, FR. on the 1st. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf for safety and health. As you may know, Lowell has spent a lot of time planning, we have the first couple nights booked - because of the jet lag we experience but after that we will secure apartments or rooms as we go in private homes.
We have leased a car for the whole time, a Peugot, Turbo Diesel, It should get great mileage and house our 200+ pounds of luggage. laptop and camera's - We are so rich in America!!
We hope to find internet, as we can, along the way to enter travel results. Our cell is off until we return, of course. Later we will post a # you can reach us at if you so choose or have a pressing desire to hear our sweet voice. Remember we will be 7-8 hours ahead of Central time zone.
We love each of you and thank you for your many comments already on the blog. Hugs Gloria and Lowell
