SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WEEK
(also scroll to the end of this blog for a save the date announcement)
MONDAY ROUND TABLE @ Bill and Myrtie Davis
 |
| You always feel at home at the Davis home |
It takes an energetic super-couple to volunteer to host Round Table the day after Thanksgiving Break - good thing we have Bill and Myrtie!
The only hard thing about being with Bill and Myrtie is leaving!
 |
| Chapel Hill alums right there |
 |
| Myrtie and Sarah have a special connection |
 |
| The Fellows love the Davis' |
EXTRA SPECIAL LEADER LUNCH @ Kim and Crick Watkins with Lia Erickson!
It works out well when you need a Leader to speak at Leader Lunch and you happen to be married to one of the most incredible women in Winston-Salem!
Lia's story is beyond inspirational.
And I can't remember crying at a Leader Lunch but I can now!
Thank you Kim and Crick Watkins for opening up your home to us. I love you!!!!

| the Fellows and some cast members |
 |
| Pregame at the purple Christmas Tree |
 |
| Caleb was wearing a purple tie |
 |
| Ned was wearing the suit John Barber bequeathed to him. Nigel had the same one in 1974 |
Nigel forced me into an impromptu interview about the show at Starbucks earlier in the week.
I'd do anything for Nigel. It's true.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THE BLACK NATIVITY - GO!!!!! I'M SERIOUS. I CAN'T GET THROUGH THE FIRST SONG WITHOUT CRYING FOR JOY.
You're welcome.

 |
| Good Golly Miss Molly! |
thank you Lia for getting us this sweet gig. Teenage girls galore! Hahahhahahahaahaahahha!
SUNDAY
the Fellows went to Wake Forest for the Annual Love Feast. Having been asked to lead worship at David Speakman's installation service, I bowed out of joining them
 |
| They seemed to be doing fine without me |
Except that Tate did not heed my instructions to put the bun on top of the coffee to keep the bun warm
 |
| This is what happens Tate! |
