It seems Beth and I are now old; she told me some time last week that she had reserved spots for us for a spaghetti dinner at church on Friday, but I didn't realize until we got there that it was a seniors dinner. They were doing a fundraiser for the youth group to do a trip to the CIY conference, which I did know about, but I noticed when we got there that we were maybe the youngest ones in attendance. Well, I guess there's no getting around it, we are old. Anyway, Saturday afternoon there was a guest speaker at church which I didn't really want to go to, but the pastor asked me specifically if I would attend, so I did. My guess is that many others turned him down...there was practically nobody there for the afternoon talk. Well, there were maybe a couple dozen, but mostly they were from other churches. Only a few from FCC were there. 

About the only other reportable thing from this week is the leaves. We've had something of a warm spell for the past week, so the snow is gone...which uncovered all the leaves in the backyard that stayed in the trees until our first big windy snowstorm in November. It's frustrating when there aren't even any leaves to rake until the snow comes, but that's what you get with our trees sometimes. So I've been raking up one or two tarpfulls of leaves after getting home from work. There are a lot of leaves....
