Starting to get a bit blustery and rainy out..Maybe it will drop temps. Happy Friday! I was thinking what I want to do for my bday next weekend. There were a few possibilities, but since it won't be open to much longer I think I want to go to the Lodge at Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park for lunch. I will get friend to trot down here. I haven't been there for years, and if it is anything like the visitors Center I bet it is gorgeous. We can also go to Sharp Shopper where I will buy a couple of their inexpensive pies for Tgiving. I just hope for good weather..or the plans may need to be altered. Anything fun coming up for you?

Fun? No, probably not. The day after Thanksgiving is the day our family Thanksgiving takes place due to Diana’s family holiday schedule and my BIL’s family schedule. I do look forward to that Friday.
But for this weekend, I’m just looking forward to hearing my dad preach one of the last times, and we have a potluck after the service too.
I like your idea for a birthday weekend!

It should be fun. Your dad is totally retiring ..not going part time or anything? I guess he will be around a lot more for you then. What does he want to do in his post work life?

@snowy22315 I think he might get a part time job somewhere because he’s so used to staying busy. He still plans to visit the nursing homes and hospitals of the people who depend on him for encouragement, and I know he’ll continue to work on cars, but he’ll have to find something else or go nuts. I think a few churches have asked him to do a revival at their churches once he’s done at his church.
I also heard a few deacons say they want him to stay on as a part time pastor, like a second in command. I don’t think he wants to do that though. He still plans to attend that church once retired, but I don’t think he wants to be responsible for anything there. He’s been in the ministry for 53 years so I think he wants less stress overall. And that job is stressful. He also doesn’t want whomever comes next to feel like he’s looking over their shoulder.

@AmbiePam That's understandable, and it is also understandable that he wants a break after 50 plus years. Does he like to fish or anything like that?

Happy Friday! it's a rainy day here today and I've been busy paying bills and getting a few things done around the house. Your birthday plans to go to the Lodge sounds like a fun day.

There is a Mosaic Festival on at the sports park over the road - mosaic as in celebrating all our different cultures. It's starts in a couple of hours so we'll go over a bit later.
