Its True man! July 4th 2008 - July 4th 2009 marks the 120th annivesary year for the Elms Hotel in Excelsior Springs Missouri. So where am I? and why am I wearing pajamas in this picture? Why AT the Elms of course! In the room which was my home for two days! And wearing pajamas is one of the things you do there! 
Oh and did I mention with WHOm it was my pleasure to spend those two days at the Elms? Well, none other than my lovely wife of course! AND.... if you have viewed her post, you already know WHY we were at the Elms, but did you know HOW this came to occur? Well thanks to our wonderful children, our daughter-in-law (soon to be), my father-in law, and, Cameron's girlfriend, we were gifted with a weekend package at the Elms. It was so very thoughtful and nice of them. We were overwhelmed! It was the perfect thing! It was so Great!    
As we were married at Excelsior on 4/14/84, we certainly wanted to meet with the brethren there on the Lord's Day. We attended the morning meeting at Excelsior, enjoyed a fine meal and fellowship at the Richard Mclung's, and then had the privilege of atending the Kansas City area singing hosted by Excelsior that Day. This photo was taken by my brother-in-law Glen Woody, who was also at the afternoon singing. The blessings of being with the saints at Excelsior just put our lovely weekend right over the top! How richly we are blessed! 
Thanks Glen! It was great to see you too and glad you left the leather pants at home this time! It truly was a wonderful time. I am a very rich man! My life is filled with wonderful people, and the list keeps growing! The most precious person to me of course is Kimber. I enjoyed every minute of having her beautiful presence ALL TO MYSELF for two terrific days. she is a gem of inestimable worth! My life is so blessed! My God is so good! |
