If you recall, Bob and I were to attend a birthday party yesterday afternoon for Marilyn, the Methodist minister in Independence. Well, we did attend and had a very nice time and visited with a lot of their parishioners.
The funny thing was, though, that Jack had asked me to delete Marilyn's name when I sent out the e-mail invitation to the Independence ministers. I did that.
Yesterday I asked Marilyn if it was a surprise for her and she said, "no". She said Jack had e-mailed someone to tell them why he could
not do something with them from 3 - 5 that afternoon, and he forgot
to delete her name from the list and she read the e-mail.
I thought it was so funny that he did exactly what he warned me
not to do. That first picture is Marilyn in the blue dress with her arm around a friend.
The second picture is Marilyn's cake table. her daughters who
live in Iowa sent the yellow roses with cards expressing their
love for their mom.
The third picture is a table Jack had had done for her with all her
pictures, their wedding pictures, and even high school diploma
and her college graduation. All kinds of great mementos were
there on display.
What a great gesture. Jack must have really worked on getting this surprise arranged. The church secretary, Chris, helped a lot and many of her friends as well.

Margie, Sounds like the birthday party was a big success and Jack went to a lot of trouble. I think it is so funny that she already knew about it.
Me too. But he tried to keep it from her. He just forgot to delete her from his e-mail program before discussing it. Oh well, it was still a big success.
