Here's how it all came about. We were scheduled to have a weekly bible study with some friends that evening so I didn't think anything about it when Chili told me that it would be scheduled an hour earlier than usual. I arrived at the Mission and waited with him in his office. I didn't think anything fishy was going on when he kept having to leave to "check on things." As I sat with my back to the door, he kept looking out the door behind me and making affirmative gestures. I sat, clueless, babbling on.
Then he arose and led me down the hall to the conference room where we have the bible study. He opened the door to a dark room, and my eyes were drawn to a couple of candles on a table.
The scene slowly sunk into my brain as I processed what I was looking at. One end of a long table was set with a intimate candlelit dinner. I don't exactly remember how I reacted. I think it was a mixture of jubilant exclamations and hugs.
Here's how it looked for a minute with the lights on.
Aaaah ... life is gooooood ...
A little bubbly? Mmmm, grape sparkling water!
Here's my food brought in from Olive Garden - it was a chicken dish (of course).
And Chili's was a shrimp dish.
It turned out that Patty Tegeler and her girls did the fetching and decorating, but it was all my dear hubby's idea.
Great husband,
good friends!

AHHHH! It could not have happened to a nicer lady or man, for that matter. I am thankful.
