HEALTH UPDATE:
From
Me
('65) of NC - 09/09/13:
I awoke yesterday
morning even shorter of breath than I am on a normal bad day (is that
an oxymoron??). Staying home was not an option, but I wondered
how I was ever going to lead the music in church - and I had chosen four
of my favorite hymns, including "Onward, Christian Soldiers". I
made my way up to the stand, panting and gasping and looking far more
haggard than usual.
  Paul
(who had arrived earlier for an extra set of meetings that don't
concern me) took one look at me and decided that at any minute he
was going to have to dart up to the stand and catch me when I fell.
Then the strangest thing happened. When I stood up (admittedly a bit shakily the first couple of times) and started to sing, my voice sounded better and stronger than it had in months, probably years! Now
I ask you, "Whaddup wit dat?!?"

BAPTISM?!? 
How'd he get to be eight? We were thinking he was only turning
SEVEN! How can this BE?!?
We never were much good at math... |
||||
...I'm pretty sure he's eight, but I'm not too good at math either... |
||||
Yes, it's all coming back to me now. Obviously our mental health has not been much better than our physical health - which is crummy. We're so sorry we missed Jonathan's Big Day! Give them all hugs and kisses for us! 
Thank you for the
beautiful images, Megan!

| Hi Carol, I sure hope you and
Paul
are on the mend. I'm giving you permission to decrease the number of

Thanks, Linda-Linda!
I hope we're on the mend, too; we're certainly giving it our best shot! We're beginning to feel like old cars: we fix one thing and something else breaks... |

From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of
NC - 09/05/13 - "Shirley and Marcy":
A mom was concerned
about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want her to
walk with him, and she wanted to give him a feeling of independence.
But she also wanted know that he was safe.
When she expressed her concern to her neighbor, Shirley offered to
follow him to school in the mornings for a while, staying at a
distance so he wouldn't notice. Shirley said that since she was up
early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to
get some exercise.
All week long, Shirley and her daughter followed Timmy as he walked
to school with another neighborhood girl.
As the two children walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs,
Timmy's friend said, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to
school all week? Do you know her?'
Timmy replied, 'Yes, I know who she is. That's my mom's friend
Shirley Goodnest and her little girl Marcy'.
'Shirley Goodnest? Why is she following us?'
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my mom makes me say the 23rd
Psalm with my prayers, cuz she worries about me so much. And in the
Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the
days of my life'. I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'
Thanks, Dools!
