The Day Kate Went Home

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I found one photo with both my daughters included.

We waved goodbye to Kate.

After she drove away, Lise and I walked to the stop sign. Because Kate enjoyed spotting rabbits on our walks, I took a picture of one we saw just minutes after she left.

That afternoon we went to the installation of my new pastor. Lise had been at Concordia College Bronxville at the same time he was there. She remarked later that she would have recognized his face from Facebook. As soon as he spoke during the service, she remembered his voice from decades ago.

We ended the evening going out with neighbor Holly and Denice, neighbor Bob’s sister-in-law. The brewery is right on Jonathan Creek, further upstream. What a fun evening that was!

  5. I love the picture of the two sisters. I looked back at some of the photos from your time in England to see how much they have changed. (not that much)

  7. Love seeing y’all together! You ALL look great! I’m sure a good vacation time was had by all. Miss you, but enjoy “seeing” you in your blogs. Thank you for that.

  10. That’s a sweet bunny. I’d be enamored too. 🙂 I know you enjoyed the visit with both the girls. Now you have Lise until the end of the month if I remember correctly. David was the thorn among the roses, but he didn’t mind. 🙂

  13. How long was your previous pastor there? In your denomination do you call a new one or is one chosen for you? Is the transition challenging?

    1. I don’t know how long the previous pastor was here — maybe 10 to 15 years. Missouri Synod Lutherans call a pastor, usually from a list of suggestions from higher up. The retiring pastor wanted us to have a smooth transition and helped get things rolling. We have three retired pastors who are very active, and one volunteered to be the pastor for several months. Worked out well .
