April 2008
It is April, and we were in Redlands for just a
few days. We will be in Tombstone, AZ for a few days
before we continue East. We left Morro Bay on March
17, and it was very difficult to leave. We made so
many friends this year; it was simply hard to say
goodbye. The Morro Bay - Cambria area is without a
doubt our favorite area in the whole world. This
year we became so attached to the church as well.
Marilyn attended a women’s Bible study on Monday
mornings; we both attended a couple’s Bible study on
Sunday evening, Glen had choir practice on Wednesday
afternoon, and of course we attended the Sunday
service.
We enjoyed the 20 mile drive from our rig to the
church; the mountains, the ocean, the happy cows,
the birds, and the various wildlife kept us very
entertained on our trips.
We got back to Redlands in time to attend the annual
Maundy Thursday service which is our favorite
service of the year. We’re still trying to figure
out why the Evangelical denominations seldom offer a
Maundy Thursday service. We had never attended such
a service until we started attending a Mainline
denomination. We were also there for the Easter
service and the wonderful music.
The week before we left Morro Bay we were invited
out to dinner all but two nights of the week, and in
Redlands, Marilyn never had to cook a meal all week.
Our schedule was definitely accelerated when Glen
was asked to fill in for a cast member one weekend
at LifeHouse Theater. Glen had to memorize new lines
as this was a completely new play, The Rise of King
David. Glen had the part of Samuel. Marilyn had a
quilt project to work on while Glen was at the play.
We left Redlands on March 31st and are slowly
wending our way across the country. We will make
prolonged stops in Tombstone, Overland Park,
Indianapolis and Waukegan before we arrive in New
Jersey.
We have mentioned before that since this is our 50th
year of marriage, we have decided to celebrate all
year. We will be able to celebrate with friends from
coast to coast. It is the custom at the First
Congregational Church in Redlands to present the
couple with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as they
celebrate their 50th. Since we don’t expect to be in
Redlands in October, the actual month of our
anniversary, we received our flowers on Sunday,
March 30th
.
Marilyn is making an anniversary album of friends
and events that have helped us make this year so
special. We have many pictures already.
This summer our kids will be meeting us in New York
City to celebrate together. We plan to attend the
Broadway show Mary Poppins as a family and have
dinner together.
Of all the sights we will miss from Morro Bay, the
sunsets will be missed most. Take a look at this
one.
Please continue to pray for our health and safety as
we move our house on wheels from state to state.
Because of Him,
Glen and Marilyn Heavilin
