This Thursday found the Marshall females saying 'au revoir' to Papa, as he prepared to leave for work; an action which was followed by a short plane trip to Missouri for an eldership conference. What do five females do when the man of the house leaves on a trip? Well, in our case we made for the nearest Wal-Mart and Blockbuster! Then for dinner we had scrambled eggs, bagels, popcorn, and orange julius. (Mama's special specialties!)
Tonight we'll join our DeL friends for laughter, more popcorn, and probably a movie. (Mr. DeLadurantey and son Thomas are in Missouri too.) Having Papa gone for a day or two is fun, but we are very glad when the family gets back together! Where would we be without men? Men and women balance each other like no other combination can. God knew what He was doing when He created us didn't He? Wow, look at the time! I had better go stir up something tasty to snack on later....

It certainly is a bummer when the Papa goes on travel, isn't it? That seems to be the way work in America is going. A throwback to the early part of last century, perhaps, when Papa went into "the city" to work, while Mama and the kids stayed on the farm (which no longer provided enough to support the family).
Well, keep the home fire going, and watch out for coyotes.
