I actually had help on my church rounds tonight.  AmandaRae and Brooklyn stayed with me when  went inside to lock things up and many of the family had been with be for an outside inspection.  I ha caught up with them on their walk around the block and after a lengthy visit at the Hilbig home we continued on around the block and I got my service done.  It has been a busy day since the family got here for dinner.  --Sherri's family  Shelli's family   Richard and Kathy  Sharon (Zach and Linzi were dropped off her around 7 p.m.)  Sharolyn and David left just before Linzi and Zach got here.   I enjoyed my clam chowder, but many others didn't seem to like it so we have plenty left over.  They gave me a nice card (I'll have to record it next time) and some gift card money for a meal and a movie.  The whole day has been nice, but I think that the walk was near the nicest part.  Now I really need to focus to change my mood back to work by tomorrow.  It's hard enough after one day, but I have had 2.  I still believe what I wrote last night.  I get some respect for being a dad, but Sheila is the one that did the important work.  I owe her so much.  I am grateful to share it all with her.
