Friendship!!

The Nebekers are good friends - and old friends - and we treasure our association with them.

 

Harry, Ry, and Jim Heder were college roommates - the other two men are Ry's brothers.  A wonderful comradeship.

From the first time I met Ry - at his missionary farewell that Harry asked me to attend while he was on his mission - until now, it has only been a pleasure to associate with him and his family.

Today is Ry's birthday.  Ry is quite ill, and our prayers continue daily for him and for his family.  But we want to remember the good times and the many wonderful memories we share.

Happy day to you Ry!!

"The play's the thing."

As I type this, it's still Nebeker's birthday. And we got a solicitation from the folks at Shakespeare by the Sea - a solicitation I was happy to respond to, by the way - and of course Harry and I have been discussing the upcoming production of Julius Cesar at our annual Ides of March party - which is rapidly approaching - beware!!!

So when I stumbled upon this old photo, I was taken with how much difference 20 years makes!!

Is this going to go on forever - me always harking back to past glories and wallowing in emotion over all that water under the bridge??

I like to think of it as family history!!

Everyone in the above photo is in a place they couldn't even imagine 20 years ago.

But maybe that's good. Who wants to know what's coming??
