Last night we invited a couple from Church to our home for dinner. Dave and Kerry Rennick were some of the first people we got to know when we moved to Kentucky. We have been their home teacher and visiting teacher for many years now. They are preparing to move and could be gone as early as December. We wanted one more dinner with them before that happened.
We provided the meal. Kerry and Dave brought the dessert. We enjoyed our meal and then sat in the living room and had such a nice visit. Eventually Kerry and I prepared her dessert and served it. Then we continued our visiting.
After they left I thought about the evening. Dave retired a few months ago. He and Kerry are finding their niche quite easily in the retirement lifestyle. But the thing I was most aware of was the joy they find in being together now a lot of the time during the day since he is home more. I pondered that fact and thought about how much Claude and I enjoy having a lot more time together.
It is just so nice and refreshing to find that people can get married and enjoy each other for so many years and then love being together after retirement. That is often not the norm in our disposable world. I'm grateful for that insight and for the fact that Claude and I do love and enjoy being together and are still finding fun at this stage of life together.
It's just nice.
