Tonight I attended Brett’s bariatric support group meeting with him. It was a pretty cool meeting! It was amazing to hear the weight loss as the group went around the room and gave their loss to date. Women seemed to lose less with losses around 50-100 pounds. Most men were over 100 pounds. Brett had the highest loss with 185 pounds! The program for the…
Retreat Weekend
I spent Friday night and most of Saturday at a leadership retreat at Salt Fork Lodge. I am often leery of these events since the success is highly dependent on the organizers and the participants. Often, one or the other is off and the result is less than rewarding. This weekend was a success. It was a valuable time for me. As a president of…
Hppy 89th Mom!
My mother celebrated her 89th birthday today. I had dinner with her and my brother tonight at their home. Although she has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t appear to recognise me, she was in good spirits and health. She is the last survivor of her five siblings.
Hilarious Game Night
Saturday night our friends Tom and Tom hosted a game night. We went with our friends Dave, Mark and Phil. It turned out to be a fun night. One of the card games we played was Spoons.

The last few days he and Bosley finally have come to terms. Bosley is now joining in on the fun! Now house training is another issue… ugh 🙁 I snapped…
Enough of the phone books already!
For the 3rd day in a row, I got a phone book in the mailbox. Is it really an effective medium today? I can’t remember the last time I used a phone book. Now I have the “official” AT&T book, the “user friendly” phone book and some other version I didn’t even look at. How many more will we get?
Sometimes things just fall into place
Tonight I had a great meeting of the synod GLBT task force. I am the chairperson of the committee this year. We are in the midst of planning our winter educational event. I have a terrific committee. Tonight was a good test. Almost all members showed up for the meeting. The event planning just fell into place so smoothly with good input from all. Even…
