Graeme - 60 years

It was Graeme's birthday on Tuesday. 60 years old. Now we are both official "senior citizens".



A while ago we were given a packet of frozen crayfish tails. I have never even eaten crayfish, let alone cooked them, so I simply left them in the freezer. Graeme, however, enjoyed eating them with his father, and nagged me to read my cookery books, and prepare them for his birthday. He had to show me how to get the flesh out of the shell. I put the cray flesh in a pan in the oven and poured lemon butter over them. The end result was surprisingly good. I even ate one. I made savoury rice to go with the tails.



Something encouraging. A few weeks ago Graeme went to visit someone who had become estranged from the church, and encouraged him to come back. The next Sunday he showed up at church. The following Sunday he came with his daughter and grandsons. We pray that he and his family will continue to feel welcome, and become a part of the fellowship once again.



Kitchen life at the manse: At some stage during each day, if you come into our kitchen, you will find our 2nd cat, Calvin, perched on my shoulder while I am washing dishes, or stirring a pot, or something. Other people have parrots - I have a cat.



Hannah is now 3 weeks old, and has grown 4cms since birth!! Here she is napping with her mom.



Next week the children go back to school after the Christmas break, and all the Bible studies and evening hecticness will resume.
