We were up early this morning to head into Walla Walla to go to the Chapel on the Wainwright Veterans Administration Hospital grounds. Sherry's husband Stroh was a World War II vet who used VA services. Sherry has continued to attend services at the Chapel after Stroh's passage. We like to go with her whenever we are in this area.
Today was a special day as this week is Chaplain Ben's 91st birthday! Ben is the most incredible person. He always has the most interesting and thoughtful sermons. He would be amazing even if he were twenty years younger! Sherry had made caramel corn for after the service. Others brought cupcakes and cookies to help with the celebration.
We got a glimpse of the new hospital that is being built to replace this very old facility. It looks like it is really nice and is so needed!
We've spent a lazy afternoon reading the papers, grooming the dogs, and watching Mariners and Seahawks games. It's a good day when both of your teams win!
Sherry and I sat outside with the mastiffs a good share of the afternoon until it started to drip. We actually got a pretty nice rain for a while. From the sound of things, it's going to be a pretty wet week throughout the Northwest.
