A Great day.

I had the blessing of having lunch with two wonderful ladies today.  These two elderly women have more energy and “spunk” that I think I will ever have!  They are active in their faith, and look forward to daily giving to others. 
Both widows and in their eighties, they call each other almost daily.  Laughing, and [...]
