Ordination Service at Gunn High School
A little over a month ago…Luke was ordained. He is now the Reverend Luke Brodine!
Many family members came for the weekend. There was a wonderful service on Sunday morning. In addition to cake and celebrating with church members following the service, we had a number of small gatherings thought the weekend. It was fun and exhausting!
Praise God for the work that he has done in our lives and his amazing faithfulness to us!

Enjoying some sweet tea!
Our friends, Kari and Erin (from “the villa”), orchestrated a wonderful evening of “Southern Comfort”! Tim and others provided the “Southern Hospitality” in their home “Graceland”…

Kari and Erin
The chicken and dumplings, biscuits, green beans, corn, banana pudding, and pecan pie were wonderful! (I had the privilege of making sweet tea!)

Gravy for the biscuits.

A couple of weekends ago, I enjoyed a day in San Francisco with some sweet friends. Laura, top right, planned a day of food and “shopping” (other than food, the only thing that I managed to purchase was a chai latte)…it was SO nice. Liz (bottom right), Lori (top left), Laura, and I escaped the rain and left their kids with their husbands. Hopefully we can do it again soon!
This past weekend Peter (my brother) came to visit from South Carolina. We had a fun and busy time. San Francisco, the beach, food… He was working on a photography assignment for a class – we’re looking forward to getting the pictures!
“Bro Chateau” is what we affectionately called our home in Pendleton, SC. We are now “transferring” the name to our new place in Menlo Park, CA. We’d love to have you visit the Bro Chateau!
As you are eagerly awaiting pictures of our decorated duplex (which is currently a HUGE mess)………
Last week we went to see Jose Gonzalez at Yoshi’s in Oakland with our friends Tyler and Mary Kay Martin. (see luke’s other blog for more details about the show and Yoshi’s – raresunshine.blogspot.com) We spent most of the drive there and some of the drive back sharing our grossest stories about broken bones, stitches, etc! Luke didn’t squirm too much…
