What a crazy beautiful blessed weekend! Noelle and Paul's wedding was absolutely wonderful and the weather at the coast on Monday couldn't have been greater in the middle of summer let alone the middle of November. The ceremony was held at 1:00 in the afternoon on the patio of Cannon's overlooking the Dana Point harbor - very close to the same spot I proposed to Joyce about 35 years ago! Pastor Mark officiated and I, of course, walked my daughter down the aisle. I wore Joyce's wedding ring on my little finger.
When Mark asked, "Who gives this woman in marriage?" I responded, "Her mom in heaven, all her family and I!" About a half hour later they were the new Mr. and Mrs. Paul Berry.
The granddaughters were a hoot as well, all dressed in little sailor outfits.
Today I'm prepping for tomorrow's surgery at Kaiser Zion in SD. Got to be there at 6:30am. and the surgery is scheduled for 9:45. Could be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days and then a week or two at home healing up. I'll post as soon as I'm able after the surgery - sorry no pictures :-)
In His Arm's,
Pat

We are trusting Jesus, our Lord and Savior, for an excellent prognosis. Your flock is in excellent hands but we need you back and miss you very much.
