Bree

Today's Saying

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.
~Angela Schwindt

Yesterday we drove to Green Bay to the Confirmation Service of my granddaughter Bree.
It seems like only yesterday I baptized her and now she was being Confirmed.

Here are pictures from that service.

It was a great service. Every Confirmand got to read their own faith statement.

Here is Bree reading hers.
Hers was different in that she related it to a song then did a power point presentation where the song was sung and the verses were cut in with pictures drom her life. She even had pictures from her Baptism. My glasses fogged.

Here is Bree with her Father, my son Peter and her Mother Lori.

Other than the fact I didn't bring along enough oxygen it was a wonderful day.

The strangest thing happened in Pigeon Falls yesterday. At 4:00 in the afternoon everybody left their houses or cottages, or places of business and stood for fifteen minutes in the middle of the road. That everybody except the cleaning crew at Last Lutheran and Tommy UK. They are the ones that noted what time it started and how long it lasted.
They just stood there. They looked like statues. they didn't say anything and they didn't do anything. When it was over they returned to what they were doing and nobody remembers even standing on the road.
Tommy UK says that part of him wanted to join his adoptive parents and sister on the road and part of him kept asking why. So he ended up just watching. After it was over his parents were sure they hadn't left the house, as was his sister.
Nancy who was seen from the Church standing on the road swears she never left the coffee shop, but she can't explain how a batch of saffron buns burned .
