I am very thankful for the opportunity
we had to visit with the residents at two of our local retirement communities.
It was such a blessing to see our
dear friend and associate pastor, Jack,
with his wife, Anne, who is now in skilled care and cannot come to church.

   He is so tender with her and so much in love.
They are both nearly 90.

It was a great evening finished
off with a strawberry shortcake sundae
at Friendly's.
Yum!
