Love that you got to be part of a 61st celebration with your extended family, Carol! Longwood sounds so lovely, too. Love what you said about the new pastor. Bringing a new life and energy into a congregation is always a most welcome thing. It finally sounds as though my former/current church may be closer to getting a new senior pastor. No clue who that may be (the congregation as a whole has zero say) just that supposedly this coming Sunday the committee who were chosen (by preferred church council and other committee members so in no way truly by the congregation) to conduct the pastor search are going to reveal more about the person. I still keep in prayer my future role at this church. More and more I absolutely feel greater peace and God’s call to one day in His time, check out new options. Meantime, thank you always for listening to God and extending invitation to me virtually to your church. Very patriotic celebratory outfits of both you and your DH
Aww! Precious Baby A, AuntieMe3! God Bless her!
Wonderful kitty picture, PollyannaMom. So alert and on guard for sure. Aw, I’m sure all your pets were happy to see you again. That is an extra blessing of a pet family—always ready to welcome their humans home.
Oh no, Lynn! Poor deer, too, of course. You just keep well and cool!
I rarely buy anything at Best Buy either, Judique, too expensive! Prayers for your Yorkie to feel better! I hope your shopping goes easily and well.
Prayers continuing for you, Easyas. Glad to hear though you’re up to being back to work.
I just emailed the kind 99 cent Only Store manager, Janna, who is going to head up Sue's 99th birthday basket. I spoke with Sue yesterday. She's excited about her 99th which is coming up in 3 weeks on the 26th. I called our local Krispy Kreme to find out whether they make custom donut cakes (they don't). Sue loves donuts
One year as a birthday gift, i got her a fleecy donut print blanket. Years ago, a friend and I were talking about surprising Sue on her 100th birthday with a donut themed party. God-willing this time next year we still will try to somehow do that. I thought trying to do something like that on a small scale this year would be fun and complement perfectly her 99 Cent Only Store surprises. I did mention this to Janna and asked for her thoughts. I can also call Ralph's and Von's near Sue to find out whether they might make two big 9 shaped cakes. I will definitely keep all of you posted. Thank you for your encouragement with this!
Happy Wednesday, friends with love.
God, worked out everything as He so mercifully does for us, to where Tuesday morning is a day when Ruth has her caregiver so she will be able to get a ride to bring Sue her cakes. Praise God! I will try to coordinate the timing with the 99 Cent Only Store. Speaking of the 99 Cent Only Store, if all of you would keep my contact there named Janna in prayer, I learned earlier that she is on maternity leave. She put me in contact with a colleague of hers who I believe has been kept in the loop on this anyway, so I look forward to being in touch with Matt. Exciting as Sue's day gets slowly closer.
Dogs can only pee and poop 30 feet or more from the building. I hope they know how to measure when they have to go. Frankly, as long as they don't pee on my leg or on the walkways I am fine. As far as cars taking up 2 spaces, some people do that on purpose and some people do not park well as they get older. Thankfully we have more than enough parking spaces between the garage and the parking lots. I do miss home ownership mainly because my house my rules.
Snowysmom, I am so glad to hear about your ring. Not a drama, especially petty drama fan at all, either!
To our goofy, friendly thread!
