LINDEN'S LIFE

Friday: Saw Diana at the bookstore and believe we have a book-signing event scheduled for my new book on February 7. Brenda, the secretary at my last job, called to say that she wouldn’t be able to make it to my birthday celebration tonight. Greg Phillips and his wife also didn’t make it. Thuc Phan had scheduled it at a nice Thai restaurant. Bob and Pati Hughes brought a birthday cake, Dan Fisher and Jeanne McFarland were there. I ate Pad Thai that was really good. Thuc sent some fruit and a box of chocolates home with me. Good evening.

Saturday was a lazy day: I slept in until maybe 8:00 and did very little the rest of the day. Joyce Brinkman called for a long visit: She had been in Louisville with her mother and is trying to plan a trip to Florida. I finished reading one of the books Julie gave me.

Sunday: Church, Sunday school, brunch with friends, paper reading, listened to music, took a nap and attended evening church services where we had an Ordination & Consecration service for two new members of the Board of Elders. This was followed by refreshments. At home, watched the first episode of my favorite TV program, 24.
