Day 36

Today Rob and I actually managed to get our hind ends out of bed and go to church. I have to admit, when I woke up I was really hoping he would be the one to say he was too tired to go. But, once I was up and ready, I was glad that we did. It really got our day (and our week) off to a good start.

After church we headed to Mom's for breakfast, and to see the Hansens off. We had a nice surprise when we walked in; Aunt Marlene had come over for breakfast and a visit too. After breakfast we were sitting around the table chatting, each one of the siblings telling their age due to their recent or upcoming birthdays. I asked if they ever imagined sitting around at 73, 69, and 65...to which I got a very firm reply of, 'NO'.

I suppose at this age, I can't exactly imagine myself in their shoes either, but I'm glad they are all around to tell about it, and reminisce about their younger years.
