Anniversaries

It's a full day today. My family is all coming down. Thane is playing in a golf tournament for work, with a picnic to follow. Thane has never played golf before so it should be interesting. One of the sales managers gave him a lesson a couple nights ago, and he was feeling pretty confident that he could master the game. At the same time as the company picnic, some dear people to us are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Chuck and Minute Wigton were the pastors at our church in Sandpoint for many years. Now, Chuck and I work together at the church down here. It's a very neat turn of events getting to be around Chuck again. Minute, too, I just don't see her as often. Chuck always goes by my office with a smile and kind word, and we share in a lot of laughs. Minute likes to remain behind the scenes, helping in the kitchen and in the office after church services. I'm sure it is going to be a great party. Their kids are all here for the event. I briefly saw them on Friday night at church. My family is coming down to join the festivities and help Chuck and Minute celebrate such a wonderful life. What a great example they have been to those of us who have known them for many years. Speaking of anniversaries, my parents will be celebrating 42 years of marriage on Tuesday. Two great couples who have been through a lot over the years, but have stuck it out and grown more in love over the years. Congratulations to mom and dad, and Chuck and Minute. May God bless you with many more years to come.
