The world travelers were in town this week to give us pointers on how to better visit the world. Our son Mark is traveling to Europe in just over a week, and we are making final arrangements at the last minute to make things exciting. So we were grateful for the advice from the globetrotters (i.e. my in-laws) . They coached our son, warning him of the many out-laws in that part of the world. Mark tends to be a very trusting sort, so a word from the wise came at a good time. Their stay in our corner of the world is always too short. Is it our bad breath or something that we say? We’ll continue to believe that their tight schedule is to blame (as they always claim.)

We join Raven in missing them already.
