Servant-hood
He sat down, called the twelve,
and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of
all.” Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his
arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me,
and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent
me.”
Mark 9:30-37

Last Sunday we had another
neighborhood party.
How nice! Two in one
season.
The last time we had one
was at least ten years ago.
Tony and Susan are Pogo's
parents.
(Pogo is the cat I painted
for last year's Christmas card.)
Pixie and Bryce had just
met at our Wednesday Breakfast.
Ginny and
Peggy
Peggy held
our afternoon Book Club group at her home.
Friday evening was another
Dine Around party. We enjoyed seeing Ann and Mike's
amazing new
southwestern home that is very green!!!
At the moment, it is one of
the three highest rated green homes in the country.
In the background are their
solar panels.
They have five beautiful
chapungu sculptures from Zimbabwe.
Ann showed us her chicken
coup out back.
She really does gather eggs
every evening.
(I don't know about the
peacocks.)
We had our hors d'oeuvres
on the patio.
Ann, Lyle and Diane,
Tisha
Steve, Mike
and Ann
These are some of the
marionettes Ann and Mike
used to use to entertain
their children ... and others.
What a fun and fascinating
evening!!!
This weekend is the
annual Open Door Studio event in Evergreen.
Rebecca and I
stopped to see one of the artists and Rebecca
bought this pastel
painting, Autumn's Vale.
The artist, Jane Christie,
is on the left.
There is a voice
that doesn't use words.
Listen.
