A great birthday!

Wow, due to greeting from 60+ friends and our family my birthday was off to a great start. Then we had coffee and dessert with Dennis and Lois Wright - long time wonderful friends. Then came the calls from John, Matthew and his whole family singing and Rachelle and Josh. I went to bed feeling very loved but it was not over.
On the next day our congregation brought a beautiful cake with Happy Birthday in English, German and Russian written on top and to celebrate even had fireworks at the close of our service. After that Dennis and Gwinn Jackson, our new area director took the Rast family and us out to lunch. To make it a slam dunk we then walked to our house for Marilyn's famous apple pie. Now that is a great two day birthday. I am blessed!!!
