The Social Givan’s –Unheard of…..

Yes, it seems that we have actually been socializing in the past few weeks.  In early May, Judi (Tim’s sister) was in town followed by a couple weeks later her daughter Rachel.  Of course, we had the Janssen reunion which is great fun.

  In a rare move of nostalgia I attended my 35 College reunion at St John’s campus.  There were only 5 of us from the class of 1982 but 40 from the class of 1967.  The oldest class represented was from 1947.  I soon realized why I hung out with those that weren’t in my class.  I think I want to be adopted by the class of ’67.  They were having a great time.

Meyer Hall Chapel

A shot of the balcony.  It seems strange not to see Oscar the Organ up there.

Chatting with Wally Behorst- I think he knew who I was.

Baden Hall-home to Handbell Choir

In between the above, Jeni came through 3 times as she is moving her mom to an assisted living facility.  It is always good to see her.  She will probably be back a couple of more times this summer and hopes to have Rusty along.

Up next is a visit from Tim’s other sister, Jane.

And if I’m ever feeling lonely, there is always the 20+ counselors I’m scheduling at work.  I’ll just schedule them to come in for a chat if I get lonely.  

Sometime soon, Pamey and I will be bringing back the puppets to use at the new Early Learning Center (ELC) at church.  One character will be Elcee (named for the ELC) and she sees things.  Our other character is ORaL Rabbit for (Our Redeemer Lutheran or ORL).  Here’s a sneak preview:

My name is Elcee and I see you and you and you.

My name is Elcee and God loves you and you and you.

So shout Amen and clap your hands

And know God’s love is grand.

Have a super summer.
