A FUNNY THING.................

happened at church yesterday, but

before I get into that, let me answer Dawn's questions from the last blog. Beth was called "betsy" from day one.
In those days Betsy was not a name you used when you were a grown-up, so she was named Beth, to be called
Betsy. When did that change? Probably when she was in school, early on. they did not use nicknames then like they do today. What you registered as is what you were called, and you were registered as you were on your birth certificate. In those days children did not have social security #'s either. Anyway, when teachers,
etc started calling your child "Beth" eventually it just evolves.

anyway, I was sitting at the sound panel, getting ready for services when my friend Tammi came over to say Hi
Tammi and I did church secretary duties for the month of Dec and Jan when we were without a secretary and
'we became friends. We knew each other from services, but I didn't know her name. tammi sings in the choir
so she only comes to our early service maybe once a month. Well, the choir sang yesterday and she came over for a hug and was telling me that Pete"s ( her significant other for 30 years) daughter and grandchildren had come for a visit, so she was glad to come to church. I laughed and said for "peace and quiet" which brought the following anecdote to mind about dad. I shared it with Tammi and now with you

for years one of dad's favorite things to say to friends was Y up, took my wife to Vegas this weekend for
peace and quiet, and all I got was quiet (and all you guys got was "this lousy t shirt ]

Love you all have a great day
