Carruthers' Corner

Thanks to all of you for such a great weekend. I knew it would be. As expected the hours spent in the car were as much a highlight as the game itself. Chatting about family between St. Stephen and Sussex was especially cool. There were things shared that I didn't know or realize (or remember), which helped me a learn a little bit more about my family and about myself. There were even things each of you shared about yourself that I didn't know/realize/remember. I've been thinking a lot since we got back and I can't get over the value of knowing where you've come from and with whom you belong.

A big thanks to Ryan for the CD's. They were done so well! I think back to all those "various tapes" I used to make and Ryan's works of art were better than any of them. If I didn't know any better I would think my nephew is a Gen-exer. Also, all joking aside, thanks for covering for me when we were in "cash only" situations. I tend to be hard on myself when I forget things like that, but you guys helped make it a minor issue.

I love how we are very intentional about not only getting together but also doing memorable things together.

We'll definitely have to do this again. Jamie mentioned Montreal. Not a bad idea--there are great churches and cathedrals there!
