Company
Our company has all left, at least for now. We wonder who will come next. We like to make our guests feel at home.
Johnny was our first pastor when we were married. When we went to Africa, he and his family left Seal Beach, Calif. and went to Simi Valley. After several years there they moved to Alaska where he pastored a church in Eagle River near Anchorage. I think they were there 17 years. Now they have lived for 15 years in Alabama, since Johnny's aunt died, and left him a house and a ranch. He's a little older than we are, in his early 80's. His health has not been good ever since he and his tractor had an argument with a semi. The semi won, though the driver turned it on it's side trying to avoid hitting the tractor. Johnny's biggest regret now is that the Dr. will not let him ride his horses. Notice that he wears his boots, even while he's taking a nap.
Sometime I should write a post about interesting pastors I have known.

hehehe - the boots were the second thing I noticed. First the blanket... so comfy... then the boots. lol Not even ordinary brown leather, but bright blue.
LOL
he has made himself at home.
Yes, I should write a book about the interesting dr. I have known.
Oooo I want to come visit!
Come anytime. We provide food, beds, chairs and blankets, but you have to bring your own boots.
You guys wore him out!! Hope you can get some rest before the next round of visitors!! And I love those blue boots!
I understand he has a closet full of boots.
Some of the best sleep I've had, is on my lazy boy. Your friend looks like he is out gathering wool. Those boots are loud!
My husband sleeps there most nights for at least some of the night.
I read this as I'm watching the news about a horrible crash between a semi and a tour bus full of HS students. I'm glad your pastor lived through his fight with the semi!
I heard about that crash. That is just terrible. It was amazing that our friend survived.
Great story!!!
love the boots ~
Looks so comfortable
Love the boots!
