Spent the day home with the dogs. It was nice, peaceful and a bit lonely.

Diane was off with freinds who took her on a post birthday surprise day. She had a great time. 

 

Are 11:30 I headed in to town because i’d heard that our old friend Barb was going to be co-leading the service at the Congo.. 

Babr was there with her Daughter and two of her grand children.. none of whom’s names I can spell. (makeeda, arcana)  but are good old friends. 

Barbara has a special place in our heart. Hse lead Sam’s memorial service. It was very good to see them all
