A Grand Birthday!

  As it happened my birthday fell on a Sunday this year, October 28, to be exact.  CT has been coming from New Jersey to hunt pheasants with me for the last several years.  Since Lars and Melissa have moved to Minnesota his wife comes too.  So, it seemed only logical to use the event of their visit as opportune time to plan Sella's baptism, ie., on October 28.

  So it was that on my birthday I was invited to preside at Sella Grace Townsend Negstad's baptism at Lars & Melissa's new church, (they joined that day) Calvary, Lutheran at Chicago & 39th S, Minneapolis.  It became a most memorable birthday.  The pictures tell the story!
