A LUTHERAN LIKE ME NEVER CAN GET USED TO THE CATHOLIC 70-MINUTE
WEDDINGS. OUR'S LAST 30. SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY, MISSY WAS A
HARD-WORKING HIGH SCHOOL EMPLOYEE AT MY DRIVE-IN THEATRE.
NOW SHE'S A NURSE PRACTIONEER, WAITING ON COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
CUSTOMERS. NEXT, ATTENDED SUNDAY BREAKFAST AT BOYER HALL ON THE FAIRGROUNDS, THE TWICE-A-YEAR SUPER BELGIAN WAFFLE BREAKFAST SPONSORED BY HELION MASONIC LODGE #36 A.F. & A.M. SELLING TICKETS, DUANE HANSEN (LOOKING WELL AFTER THAT TERRIBLE AUTO ACCIDENT) AND CONNIE CRESSEY. SERVERS INCLUDED LONGTIME
MEMBER LYNN DISNEY (DID YOU EVER HAVE TO GO TO HIS OFFICE WHEN
HE WAS PRINCIPAL) AND FELLOW ROTARIAN DENNIS HASENBANK.
A SUPER BREAKFAST!! THEN, QUICK DRIVE TO MAKE THE SPECIAL 10 A.M. SERVICE AT SALEM LUTHERAN CHURCH IN ANDREW.
THEIR (RECORDED) SERVICE IS BROADCAST EVERY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 5 ON KMAQ-FM. SPECIAL SERVICE TODAY BECAUSE THE BARBER
SHOP QUARTET.....ALL 4 GIVEN.....FROM NORTH OF PLATTVILLE SANG ABOUT 10 SONGS DURING THE SERVICE. GREAT GOSPEL HARMONY AND ALL
CHUCKLED WHEN THEY STARTED SINGING THE SONG "TURN THE RADIO ON". AFTER, I GAVE THEM A STANDING OVATION. THE PHOTO ABOVE WAS TAKEN ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE SERVICE WAS TO BEGIN AND WHEN IT DID, THERE WAS A VERY GOOD TURNOUT, INCLUDING VISITORS (LIKE US) BOB AND MYRNA LARKEY OF MAQUOKETA. SALEM LUTHERAN WILL CELEBRATE THEIR 150TH ANNIVERSARY TWO WEEKENDS FROM NOW WITH
MANY SPECIAL THINGS PLANNED. THEN, DOWNSTAIRS FOR BRUNCH
POTLUCK. REMEMBER...I ATE WAFFLES AT 9:30. NOW IT WAS 11:30 AND
YES....I ATE MORE GOOD FOOD, INCLUDING A GREAT APPLE DESSERT.
CONVERSATION TODAY WAS ABOUT THE GOOD MAGGIE MAE SHOW
