Tuesday was beautiful Karen's birthday. She celebrated birthday number forty...something. As I frequently remind her, it doesn't matter how old she is; she will always look far younger than her age and I'll always look far older than mine, so although she is older, no one would ever believe it. Here she is with three sweet girls and their handmade cards.
And how did we celebrate? Well, that's a subject that's a little touchy. Karen is a girl who really values a quiet evening "partying" with her family. But what did we do, not only this year, but last year as well? We spent the evening with our church staff team having dinner together as part of a planning retreat. Which is great! Karen and I both love spending time with them. But it's not exactly what she would choose for her birthday celebration...two years in a row.
Yes, I've already informed the staff team that next year we can NOT under any circumstances have a retreat on May 6. Off limits, verboten, skull and crossbones, police-line-do-not-cross, read my lips, not happening.
Fortunately, Karen's kind of partial to me. A few big smooches and I'm Superman again...minus the tights and cape.
