Dear friends,
My heart is filled with gratitude at the wonderful send-off you gave me at Shrine Mont. I was particularly touched as you all lined up to say good-bye and wish me well after the service on Sunday. As I talked with many of you about my sabbatical over the weekend, your excitement and enthusiasm made me even more excited! For those of you who were not there, a group of folks sang a song to the tune of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” It was hilarious and perfect! My thanks to all of you who made that possible. And you did surprise me!
Since I’m normally off on Monday, today was like any other Monday. I worked at the zoo as I do each week studying rhea behavior. I also saw the movie “Noah” (which I do not recommend), but getting together with a friend for movie and dinner was great! I will miss you all and will certainly keep you in my prayers. Please keep me in yours.
Ann
