Around 9 this morning, I drove Rex to meet up with friends for a flight from LAX. We drove along one of the highway veins that take you from the 101 toward the Pacific Coast Highway. The coastal mountains are lush and green due to our recent rains, and I never seem to take for granted the beauty of God's creation in this part of His world.
Rushed home to get a little lunch ready for Sharon Cleary and Lauri Kappen. We were meeting to make assignments for this Saturday night's Progressive Dinner. They arrived at 11.
Lauri's arms were loaded with paper, pens, and tape as she headed outside to the patio where she taped large sheets of white paper together covering a 6 foot table. Headings were made across the top with the name of each host home. Making the various assignments and phone call verifications took nearly 3 hours and was a bigger job than I realized it would be. However, it was so beautiful outside today that it was a pleasure for the 3 of us to work together and anticipate all the fun we will have as Conejo Church has the opportunity to spend our Saturday evening together.
I think it will be an amazing evening. We will arrive at the Melia's at 5 for appetizers, scatter to a dozen host homes for the main course at 6:15, then re-assemble together at the Koorenny's for dessert, Christmas music, fellowship, and fun at 8. If you signed up, you will get an email with your specific host home assignment and your food contribution.
See you then, Sherry
P.S. Will you please pray for Donna Leavitt and her mother Josephine Fried. You may have seen Jo, a vivacious 86 year old enthusiastic worshiper helping with clean-up after church on Sunday. She is now struggling with serious health problems as a result of a stroke that occurred during the Thanksgiving Holidays. Donna had volunteered to be a host home for our Progressive Dinner but has brought her mom into her home and is assuming the responsibilty of her care. Please pray for this family.
