[Magdalen] Thanks

[Judy Fleener]

That sounds wonderful for you.  I am still waiting for Bill to retire.
When he broke his knee cap in July I thought he was done, but not so, the
parish where he was Sunday supply has asked him to return in advent.  New
rules from me: he has to drive there in the daylight hours.
