Hello Blog Neighbors and Friends in My Hometown,
Three weeks of celebrating my 84th birthday; in Wellborn, in Houston, Texas, and in London, U.K., and a grand finale in Gainesville, Fl. has filled the interlude between last blog visit and now.
While I was out of town I missed Nikki Fralick Sutton's baby shower, hostessed by Nancy Moseley and Patty Roach, at the Masonic Lodge on April's final Saturday. Report is that at 34 weeks Nikki looks great. She was in my Sunday School class once upon a time and she will present a first grandbaby for Goldie Marie and Ted but not a first great one for Goldie and Fred Gaylard.
There is another first time pregnancy in my former Sunday School class but I'm not sure I have permission to tell whom. :-)
A second piece of good news from my old Sunday Schoolers is a milestone marked in David Smith's life story.
His monthly newsletter from SOURCE, (an internet ministry focused on youth pastoring), includes this paragraph.
"Now it is equally clear that God has called me back into the local church to fulfill the call to ordination as an elder within the United Methodist Church. Beginning in June, I will serve as the Assistant Pastor for Temple Terrace United Methodist Church while completing the final portion of elders orders for my denomination."
I also have just caught up with Linda Dye's scooper in the Suwannee Democrat about our dear postmaster Iva Carlton's retirement after 23 years in our hometown post office. It is official on June 2, 2010. SUNDAY JUNE 6 between 2 and 4 everyone is invited to come thank Iva and to help launch her into many years of happily-ever-after retirement fun. Everyone loves Iva. She winds up a job well done.
Via answering machine and e-mail follow up I share the happy news that Jan Boyette just married and is living on Jacksonville Beach. They were married on the beach with a Methodist pastor, a relative of John's, officiating. Jan's son Matt escorted his mother and "gave her away".
Imagine my joy when invited to come take a picture of the golden glowing wild flower coreopsises behind Sara Bailey's house. I'll share the photo with you ASAP
