It was a great day!

Our friends arrived fairly early this morning from New York having arisen at 4:15 this morning. As I write this, they have gone to bed as they are, not surprisingly, tired from their early start.

It was great to touch base with people that I have not seen in over a year. Lot's to catch up on, lot's of conversation, TV movies, and card playing. Since I really can't go anywhere, it is going to be a relaxing time for all before they go home sometime on Monday. They were pleasantly surprised to see that I looked so well. Music to my ears!

These are the things that make life meaningful. Good friends don't just happen to people and my wife and I are so fortunate that we can count a number of people as being close friends - another blessing that we have been given.

I thank God for this day...
