First a photo from Ireland. This one was taken on the drive down from my digs at Moy, Lahinch, County Clare. If we had a magnifying scope we would see the Atlantic Ocean just beyond the horizon. (Click the pic.)
Now a thought about birthdays, and one birthday in particular. Rebecca likes to celebrate--period! So when it came to her birthday this year, she and her 'loved ones' were drawn into a series of outings, lunches, dinners and miscellaneous finds at the local Good Will store.
If you tap on the title of this posting you'll see some of what I mean. On Saturday, the 7th (her birthday) we met up at the Good Will. She almost bought the fur she models. $25 seemed a bit high. She eventually bought name-brand slacks and a very nice ceramic piece. After shopping, we lunched at Trio, where the birthday dessert was baked Alaska. No calorie counting was allowed.
Sunday the 8th, Rebecca joined me at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church for Sunday School and Worship, after which we met up with good friend, Gail, at the Monterey Restaurant. Taco salads were consumed. We then parted with hugs all around.
Rebecca and I met up again Sunday evening at Buca Di Beppo's with Ben and Heather, who btw have been house hunting! Our lovely dinner ended with another fantastic birthday treat--this time complete with candelabra.
Observation: Birthdays are wonderful reminders of God's gift of life. I'm so glad Rebecca Grace came to us when she did, back in 1963. She balanced out our family beautifully. We finally had a sister for Janice and another cute sibling for Stephen and John. And wow, what a bunch of talented, smart kids they were and still are! They are outstanding human beings and fine Christian examples. Just ask anyone who knows them! :)
