A treat.

It was a real treat to have Nate and his girlfriend, Megan here last week.  Of course we love having all the kids, but when they get older they can't always come; like Gabe had to work last weekend, so he couldn't be here.  Usually Nate and Megan are working, but they got to come last weekend.  Trish had worked Friday night, so she slept and Nate drove.  Then when they got here Trish went to bed and Nate and Megan and Lee and I played Hand and Foot Canasta for 4 hours!  That was a real treat!  Nate  and Megan are 20, so our times with them are few and precious.

We took Dorothy to church this morning and then she bought Subway sandwiches and we ate them at her house.  It was nice not to have to fix any lunch and we enjoyed the time with her.  I sang at the worship service at the nursing home this afternoon, but then we went right back to work.  We took time out for church this evening and nachos for supper, but we've been working and working.  Tomorrow is our last day to clear out, here, so we've got to keep up the frenzy.  We'll get it done!

I thank God for the strength to keep up the work.  I thank Him for purpose in life and for the wealth of friends and family.  Life and loved ones are precious and God is so generous.
