August 28, 2009: Birthdays and a Feast Day

On this day, August 28, Esther Lemunyon, a dear friend, celebrates her 92 birthday today. Esther and her husband Lynn befriended us early on when we began attending church in their area. We have been friends the past 17 years. Lynn died in 1998 and Esther eventually moved to live with her daughter in another state. Esther had lived all of her life in Mid Michigan and at 85 began a new adventure. I asked her once how she was able to do this with such grace and confidence. She told me that one has to close one door and open another no matter how it feels. So Happy Birthday, dear Esther.

With love and affection,

Your other children.

Today is also the birthday of Keith who is teaching English in an Asian country. Keith we miss you as well as your fine piano playing.

Today, is also the feast day of:
Augustine of Hippo, Bishop and Theologian
28 August 430
