Flying to East St Louis
Friday
We had free air miles, so it cost us only $10.00 (for taxes) per person.
It was fun taking our grandson, Hezekiah, for his first flight.
Cerwin enjoyed his seat partner on the flight out of Harrisburg. He works at a local tank manufacturing plant, and was going to Texas to oversee the installation of tanks at a Pilot Truck Stop.
Hezekiah was at the window and enjoyed the cloud formations and landscape – especially as we neared Dallas/Fort Worth – where we had a short layover before going to St Louis.
Hezekiah took these pictures.
Some serious construction is going on near St. Louis, MO.
Flying by the Arch before landing at Lambert Airport in St Louis.
We arrived at our motel on the Illinois side of the Mississippi, just ahead of a heavy thunderstorm that caused the electric to go off in the entire town.

Chaplain Dan and Raydean made plans for us to meet them at Lotawater Creek.
We were glad they had electric.
Raydean went there ahead of the rest of us, reserved a table, and ordered cheesy french fries and…
…onion rings for appetizers.
Angie Moses pretended the entire container was for her!
Chaplain Wayne and Rita Foreman (Omaha, NE) and their grandson, Alex, were also in town for the chapel dedication.
Seated to the right of Rita is Howard and Angie Moses, from the International Office.
Chaplain Dan and Raydean Stuckey and their three children were at the other end of the table.

The Foreman’s, Moses’, and we were staying at the same motel, and were glad that the electric was on by the time we got back.
