It was a busy week. Kathleen Brenzikofer and I called on Martha Shinn in El Dorado on Tuesday. She is improving. Don and LaVerna Parrish and I attended a Hospice volunteer meeting in Newton Thursday. In the evening, Mary Langenegger, Gene Obee, Kathleen, and I joined others in the home of Ted and Lois Roth in Elbing for the First Mennonite Church senior fellowship. Mary and I went to El Dorado Saturday afternoon to call on Ike Clark at the hospital. So glad he was improving.
Sunday dinner guests of Mary Langenegger and Gary were Greg and Zeola Langenegger, Glenn and Daytha Langenegger, Amber and Laura, and myself. Mary and I were supper guests of Greg and Zeola in the evening.
Here's wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving! Let's be thankful for our many blessings.
