Three Simple Pleasures: Church, Birthday Celebration, Facebook 101

1. Twice in the last few days I have worshiped in the church I grew up in. It was very comforting to sit in the same sanctuary, participate in similar readings, and sing familiar hymns that have been a part of my life for over forty-five years.

2. Today is my brother's birthday. He arrived yesterday and each of us made a dish he requested to create a birthday dinner. The Deke made a delicious meatloaf and we added baked potatoes, green beans, cole slaw, and pumpkin roll. It was a evening full of good food, good laughs, and good stories.

3. We have been working at getting our mother acquainted with Facebook. It was fun to give her a tour of my "friends" today so she could see her former students, my former students, family, and friends. I think she is on Facebook Overload!
