Excellent summary of the weekend's activities! Although I don't recall
it prodeeding in quite such dignified fashion.
You left out the splendid pot luck supper the Oxford church put on for
us Saturday night, with most of the congregation attending. They are
extremely welcoming to us, absolutely delighted to have us around.
Let's visit them again before the novelty wears off.
And there was an anonymous benefactor in their congregation who arranged
to have some pizzas delivered late Saturday night. Stroke of genius, I
call it.
