Last night we welcomed Sev and Paul Friskney (right) and Shirley and Terry Wuske (below) for our Valentine's dinner party. The evening was full of laughter--and good food!But we were sorry our other invited guests, Verna and Bill Weber, had to cancel at the last minute because they were tending to Verna's mom, Mildred Holmes, who had been sick all week. They ended up following the ambulance to Jewish Hospital where Mildred spent the night. Verna and Bill waited in the emergency room and admitting room of the hospital till 10:00 p.m. while we were relaxing and eating and enjoying ourselves.
We ran up to Jewish after church this morning and were able to visit with Mildred (she's our friend, too!) who smiled weakly at us as we tried to make jokes and small talk with her and Verna, who arrived shortly after we did. Mildred is a remarkable woman, 95 years old, still spunky and strong, which is why she has survived this week of serious illness. We're praying for her and the Webers.
