Marsha, Emilie, Patrick, Anna, Sully and I all attended part of Trinity (Wheaton) 130th Anniversary celebration.  The event was in celebration of the old 'historic' chapel.  We were at the 'High Tea,' followed by an evening Reception on Saturday.  Both Bishop Lee and the Presiding Bishop were present.  Sunday morning the Eucharist was celebrated, with renewal of baptismal vows, and a prayer for the Chapel. 

It was wonderful to see so many good friends, who were in the parish...and to see how they have blossomed in their ministries and callings!  God bless them all!!!

As we were preparing to go to the parish picnic, a major storm blew through...knocking out power all around, and felling trees...we did not go to any picnic...just slowly found our way through open streets, toward O'Hare.  Had lunch at Woodfield, and got to the airport in time.

Flight from O'Hare to Charlotte was only about 20 minutes late.  The flight from Charlotte to Charleston was more than 2 hours late...We got into Charleston about 1:15, and waited for our bags...drove home, and found that our power was out since Friday.  We got a few hours of sleep, and woke up somewhat early, due to the traffic coming up our street.  The normal route is closed, due to felled trees.

Tood laundry to the cleaners, so we could have something to wear at General Convention.

Now, we're trying to figure out if Marsha should stay home, until the power returns...just don't know when that might happen.  It could happen in a minute, it could be as late as Friday (according to their reports).

Hmmmm...perhaps I could stay home, and Marsha go to Indianapolis?
