Notes from Sunday Worship

Affogatos with Lydia
Thursday, February 6 Our granddaughter Lydia and I have been trying to get together for affogatos at Fox Creamery for several weeks. (The iced drink is also hers.) Each time she had a day off from work and was in the mood for an affogato, it didn’t suit me. Finally, I said to her, “Let’s […]
Grandma Hawthorne’s 122nd Birthday
One of my favorite memories is from a time I stayed at their place over night and Aunt Joyce and I were pulling her around the basement in a wagon. I have no idea how we convinced her to get in the wagon, but we got silly and were all three laughing when Grandma said, […]
Flowers
Wednesday, February 5 Cerwin blessed me with flowers as part of my birthday week. He knows I like flowers in the kitchen – especially in Winter when everything is cold and bare outside. I put a few small stems in this vase and placed it on the windowsill. It was a rather uneventful day – […]
Girl’s Day
Tuesday, February 4 Oh, how I love this yearly date with Chris, Kristen and Deb. It is even better when our Maine daughter, Diane, is able to join us, but that didn’t work out this year.

Breakfast with Jesse at Middle School
