Spiritual and Renewing Weekend

This weekend was quite a busy but rewarding one. Our church, Mexico First United Methodist has been celebrating their Bicentennial this year. The celebrations have included a visit from retiring Bishop Violet Fisher, ice cream socials, parade floats and culminating a homecoming weekend. Friday was a Hymn Sing, Saturday a banquet and Sunday a special service. It was so nice to see everyone, including some of our former pastors. In the coming weeks, I will add more regarding the church's celebrations.

Also on Saturday, I attended a surprise 70th birthday party for my dear friend Dolph Beyer. A truly wonderful celebration for someone who has gone through so much the past year.

And finally, Sunday afternoon Jeff and I attended a Walk and Talk with Dr. Rob. It was so inspiring. I'd love to have friends join me for the next one - coming soon. Please check out his website, Mind, Body, Smile.

I have been so neglectful of my blog. As you can tell it has been almost 4 months since I last posted. Do I have an excuse? I could tell you that my life has just been so hectic (which it has) but then again, isn't all of yours? Seems like I have been on the go - to North Carolina the end of May for the funeral of my dear Aunt Elizabeth, a weeks vacation in Ohio at Jeff's cousin's (absolutely wonderful!), and then back to the grind at work trying to keep up with 2 jobs until my new co-worker joined us the beginning of August. It seems like a lifetime. I guess I was overwhelmed at returning to my blog thinking that I needed to make sure everything was in chronological order, that I had the all the right pics and links - that seemed like just too much work to contemplate...much less do. And through it all my faithful friends and family kept asking when was I going to update. Well, it finally dawned on me....this is not work or school. If it isn't in logical order that's ok. It's about me (Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!!) and I can do what I want here. :-) So hopefully I will get back into the seing of things. Thanks for sticking with me.
