This has been a very full day for us, as we have been celebrating two major occasions in our lives. We attended the 180th anniversary for the Dryden UMC. It was amazing how many of the people are still there, who were there twenty five years ago! Of course, we have all aged a bit! I got to remember some of our major life events during the decade we were part of that congregation: our wedding, confirmation, baptism, worship services, talent shows, fellowship dinners, Christmas caroling, and on and on the list goes. It was also the church out of which I entered the ministry in 1989. There was a lovely luncheon following the service. All in all, it was a very pleasant time.
This afternoon, my granddaughter celebrated her sweet sixteen birthday with a lot of her teen-age friends, and an equal number of family members. There were five little girls there, between six and two years old, all related to the birthday girl.
There was food and cake and ice cream of course. The 'down side' of social celebrations is that there is too much good food. Zandrea's mom made a lovely cake in the shape of a guitar for her musical daughter.
It's been a two event, two dessert day, a very rare occasion for us. I am full, both in my tummy, and in my heart!
