Things I hope I will never take for granted again: walking to the mailbox and visiting with a neighbor, my laundry room, clean water from the faucet, my church family, the morning paper.

Stephen and Rebecca spent 6 hours shopping for their wedding gift registry in Birmingham on Saturday. Yes, he survived!! I can't believe it's actually happening. So exciting!

We are going with the Newcomers to a Pastor's conference on St. Thomas this weekend and are really looking forward to meeting with several of them to nail down some ministry plans. Calvary Baptist on St. John should hopefully begin building their new sanctuary soon. Will keep you posted on that.

Dickie and Will have gone to the British Virgin Islands today to bring the sailboat over. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it!

I'm sure it will be something else Dickie can add to his repertoire.

Really enjoying spending time with Claire and Stuart. We pooled our food together last night and then played a game. Great family time for the "Rheacomers," as Claire calls us now.
