Jim and I just returned from a great weekend in Madison with Kathleen and Stan (Jim's sister and her husband). We have been blessed to go on many vacations together and always enjoy weekends at their home in Madison. Kathleen, who is somewhat of our social director, always plans fun things on these weekends. THIS weekend we "volunteered" for the Art Council's annual summer fundraiser. There were over 400 exhibitors from all over the country. Because it was a sunny warm day there were throngs of people. OUR job :) was at the beer and pop/water tent for 4 hours. We were dynamite.....seriously, we had a great system of Kathleen taking the orders and delivering the pop, Jim and Stan and another alternately pouring beer and fishing out cold bottles of pop and water from barrels of ice, and I ran the cash register (years of working as a checker at the Jewel during my teen years helped). Today we went to a local winery and had a picnic lunch. The point is
we always create new memories and laugh ourselves silly about some of the old memories. In short, Jim and I are very blessed to have them in our lives.
It has been a rough year for both of them because of a diagnosis Stan received last summer. Fortunately they have some of the best MDs at UW Madison. We continue to surround them in our prayers and love so that he will continue to improve.
If there is a "fun couple" in your life, make sure you spend time enjoying one another. Nothing is more important in life than those we love.
