END OF A GOOD WEEK

Saturday night, the end of a good week for me. I celebrated my birthday up through yesterday with meals, movies, cards, presents and other good things. I have to quit thinking about my age though for that is getting depressing. Two things that I received that were totally yummy were cookies made by my sister-in-law and some wonderful tea from my daughter-out-law. The cookies are all eaten and the tea is nearly gone. I decided not to hold back.

Yesterday I saw "Wild Hogs," a highly entertaining movie about the right of passage for 4 middle aged men. They make a cross country trip on their bikes and encounter all kinds of funny situations. If you need a good laugh then see this movie.

Today I took my mom and we saw "Amazing Grace." It is a political movie about the abolishment of slavery in England during which time the hymn "Amazing Grace" was written by John Newton. It was a touching movie with a thrilling final scene in front of Westminster Abbey. I hope you all will make and effort to see it.

I started a 5 week Lenten study this week on the subject of forgiveness. It is a group of 11 people from my church, a nice cross section, who signed up for this class. I was amazed with how the group clicked so immediately and what good discussion we had. I look forward to the next session.

It is cool and rainy here tonight. We seldom have cool rain. Often when you step out into the rain here the water feels warm so tonight is unusual. Should make for good sleeping.

I hope all of you have had a wonderful week and will have pleasant dreams tonight. Think I'll go make another pot of tea.
