Happy Thanksgiving!
Clare and I are truly grateful to our family, friends, church, and God for the blessings of this past year. We have had good health, good living conditions, good finances, and good times. We vacationed together in mostly northern San Diego, CA, county in the spring and in the Outer Banks, NC, based in Duck, in the fall. I visited my aunt and uncle, Ruth and Cliff, along with Mom in August. All of these trips just reinforced for us the glory of the Kingdom of God and his good work that we see daily all around us.
On a sad note though, we mourn the death of Clare’s mom Gloria who passed unexpectedly on July 4th. Gloria was 97 and still lived on her own in the house she had lived in for over 60 years! What an amazing woman and example for Christian, healthy living she was. Clare and I were blessed to live nearby, share holidays with her, and see her almost every week.
