We have continued to recover from Thelma's stroke, and we've kept close to home because of COVID. I preached a couple of times in December and will preach at North Star on June 12 as our pastors will be at Annual Conference.

I've continued writing poetry and posting on Facebook. I've written over 700 poems in the last couple of years and over 2,000 since retiring.

Thelma turned 79 in December, and I reached 80 in March. On June 16th, we will celebrate our 60th Wedding Anniversary.
