Nice Sunday

We had a nice group at church this morning and a good discussion in Church School class. The sermon was good too. Afterward six of us went out to eat together. Then after I got my newsletters out, I went to the reception for Gerald Morris, the retiring pastor of Grace Fellowship here in town. They had a huge cake and great punch and plans for their retirement. He had been a minister for 45 years.

Then this afternoon, my eldest son called to say he and his fiance are getting married April 22nd in Sadona. I hope they are not rushing into anything. They have been dating seven months. I hope they will be happy. He is 55 (going on 56) and does not want to spend the rest of his life alone. He is in love and evidently she is too. I wish them the best.

Then Marilyn called and invited me to a party to watch the Academy Awards. I am not terribly interested in the Academy Awards but I never turn down an invitation. Someone told me after Bob died to always accept invitations. When you start turning them down, they stop asking you.

I am grateful for such good friends.

It is 68 degrees here today...earlier it was 70 degrees. If it stays this warm, the animals will be staying out overnight and I may get a good night's sleep.
