Yesterday was Evelyn's birthday, and she celebrated by NOT driving to her office at CCU. Thursday and Friday were fall break for students, and Evelyn decided to grade papers at home those two days (plus tomorrow) and save herself the commute.

She met me for lunch at Servatti's on Montgomery Road, and then we went across the street for her to use her birthday 20% off coupon at Stein Mart (a perk of being a Stein Mart preferred shopper).
We had thought about going out to eat that evening, but an invitation from Bill and Verna Weber trumped that idea. We had a nice time visiting and laughing and catching up with them, and Verna cooked a wonderful dinner.
I said I'd bring the cake and ice cream, but Evelyn and I liked the look of the pies better than the cakes at Servattii's. (Well, actually, the cakes looked beautiful there, but they were all very large; they would have fed 16, and there were only four of us.) So we had birthday pie (apple) and ice cream to celebrate Evelyn's big day, complete with cinnamon and/or vanilla ice cream from Graeter's. It was a low-key but a very enjoyable celebration.

Today I was at a meeting at the church all morning, Evelyn was at a baby shower in the afternoon, and then the two of us were with a church group for dinner this evening. The church is on the brink of some exciting new days in the future, and I'm looking forward to seeing how God will work among us in the coming months and years.
