The Plan That Was Almost Unraveled By A Shampoo Bottle
Our mystery guests have arrived from Florida!
Rev. Frank and Sheri Hawley are not only our dear friends but also the parents of our wonderful daughter-in- law, Meagan. (Unfortunately, their arrival at the Norfolk airport did not coincide with the arrival of one of their two suitcases carrying most of their clothes and toiletries. Yikes. )

Saturday should really be off altogether, but we always manage to still have several hours of work to be done so we end up at the church at least half that day, too.
