This has been an eventful weekend. I celebrated my 70th birthday, much better than the alternative for right now, anyway, and because we've been serving as part of the McAllen District of the United Methodist Church, we were invited to join the annual pastor's retreat at South Padre Island, Texas. Fellowship with our friends at a Thursday evening patio party at our very dear friend's Ila Wisdom, followed by the weekend at SPI where we wandered the beach, found a delightful waterfront "pub" complete with gracious servers and beautiful sunsets.. we ate lunch, sunset snacks and lunch on Sunday there.
