Goodbyes...

Made it to church this morning, felt unconnected - worship music, sermon...ehh - Pastor had us come up to pray for Kevin and his family as they go tomorrow. At that moment I felt for Cami - the unrelenting tide of goodbyes, the reality that the next family event we all gather for could be a marriage, since it will be 5 years.
The church picnic was about 30 odd people - at Linda Hull's down in the valley below town hill in New Hartford, beautiful day at the beginning - with thunderclouds rolling in as we took off toKevin do our round of Frisbee golf in Bristol.  We got in about four holes (baskets?) and it started pouring as well. Oh, well - off to Woods Pit for BBQ with our exchange students...

Traveling mercies to my brother Kevin and his family as they return home to Moz - and to Tituane and Karatine as they return to France.  Keep the bright and sunny Jody in your prayers tomorrow, as she's having a melanoma removed.  Her calling makes it hard to hide from the sun, Afganistan, and now the UAE....
