Saturday my hubby and I went to the funeral of a man from church who had not yet reached the age of 70. The preceding Thursday we went to the funeral of my cousin who was 67. Very sobering to contemplate our brief and temporary life on earth. Thankful both of these men had accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and were ready to meet Him as they crossed over into eternity.
After the funeral we got a bite to eat and then went to see our granddaughter, Brooke, perform in Little Shop of Horrors. Her role was a hobo. In a nutshell, it's a musical about a florist shop in a poor area of town with a plant that survives [and grows very large] on blood, but it wasn't a gory musical.
Yesterday [Sunday] was the monthly tea and program at the assisted living facility. There were 11 in attendance and three of them were men which was unusual. Everyone enjoyed the program about Million Dollar American Princesses. I didn't have time to present all of the information so they asked if I'd do Part II next month. It's a very interesting subject. Their treat was a 100 Grand candy bar.
The other two books I ordered on the subject finally arrived and I've thoroughly been enjoying them. The Titled Americans is about the three Jerome sisters from New York City who married British aristocrats. Jennie, the middle sister, married Randolph Churchill and is the mother of Winston Churchill. To Marry and English Lord is about several American heiresses who traded their wealth for British titles. Most of them had very unhappy marriages. Consuelo Vanderbilt, who also married a Churchill, is pictured on the cover of the book on the right. My conclusion is that money, material possessions, titles or prestige are the source of true happiness!
The March/April issue of Tea Time magazine arrived in today's mail. I'm anxious to read it over a cup of tea. My first cup of tea this morning was Adagio's Peach Oolong - great taste and wonderful aroma.

I'm sorry for the loss of your cousin and your church friend. We've had several funerals/memorial services here in the last month, too. I'm so thankful for the promise of Heaven!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you could enjoy Brooke's performance. I hope you'll have a nice quiet day today to enjoy your tea and magazine.
