Family dinner at The Station in Berea

We all flew from Boise to Cleveland, Ohio on Friday August 24, for Grandma Luedtke's funeral. Aunt Karen and her family drove from Kansas City. The ten of us who flew through Atlanta were stranded because of bad weather. We were not going to be able to reach Cleveland in time for the funeral, but after trying and failing through the night to get out of Atlanta, Christa and Michelle (the blondes!) took over...Michelle got the info we needed to get out of Atlanta...try to get to Birmingham, AL , then from there to Cleveland. She had Christa on the phone getting reservations for 10 of us on Southwest Airlines from Birmingham to St. Louis to Cleveland by noon!!! Michelle headed to the entrance to the terminal, found a skycap with a "cousin" who had a van, who could drive us overnight to Birmingham. HE asked for $350, Michelle negotiated $225! He arrived at the airport at 2:45am, loaded us up (without any luggage) and got us to the airport in Birmingham by 6am. It was a wild ride...no seatbelts! but we made it...AND made it to Berea in time for the funeral on Saturday, August 25 at 1:00. Unfortunately, we didn't get our luggage until Sunday morning...and we flew back to Boise on Sunday afternoon!

Family Tour

Our tour guide was a sister missionary who took us in the Whitney Store, allowed us to look around, and learn in the room used as the School of the Prophets.
