TGIF
Well, Friday is here. The weeks seem to fly by faster than 40 years ago. Yesterday was Soup Kitchen day and we did our Christmas give away with socks stuffed with toiletries and gloves. We had a great little appreciative crowd. Last night was choir practice. I took it easy. Neck is still a bit sore. No need to rush. This morning I'm working at the desk at church. A group is getting ready for Jubilee Christmas Celebration tomorrow morning. The church folks are providing baskets of food and toys for 35 families located at Coburn Place just down the street. It is an old school building remodeled for single mothers and children who are victums of a battered relationship. They are residents for 2 years receiving housing and a chance to get back on their feet. I think all the mothers are working at this point. Our contribution makes their money stretch a bit farther.

40 years ago you were going to school day after day -- and, even though each day brought a different surprise, your week has a lot more variety now than then. Don't you think so?
I prefer to look at it this way -- rather than to comment on how a week when you are 30 is a larger part of your total lived life than a week when you are 60 (or so).
Everyone at Coburn Place truly appreciates your gifts - Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you!
