We were up early to get the rice ready for our Young-at-Heart at church. Had to go by Wal-mart to pick up 4 gallons of tea and were at the building by 10:45. We had a really good crowd with several visitors. I met a lady from Clinto, TN and she knows several people from Laurel. It was fun talking to her.
Our speaker was the tax collector. Does that sound about dull as dishwater? Well, this chubby little fellow was really funny. He was talking about their customer service and some of the people that come in there with "complaints". Had us all laughing.
The food, of course, was plentiful and good. I tried not too eat too much and did a fair job. We hung around & helped clean up. Then it was back to Wally world for our own shopping. We got home around 2:30.
By the time TM took TD for a walk (or 2) and checked his e-mail, it was time for him to go help set up for the camp pot luck supper. I thought I might get a few minutes to rest, but, oh well.
He called me to come on over to the rec hall, so I heated up the leftover rice and was on my way.
Again, we had a pretty good crowd and the food was plentiful and good. Again, I tried to keep from eating too much, which wasn't hard since I didn't feel like my lunch had fully digested.
After the potluck, I managed to rest for about 15 minutes before I took my "finger foods" and headed out for the ladies devo. The food there looked good, but I was wa-y-y too full. Plus being tired. We did have a nice devo though. Had 11 ladies there, including the hostess.
Now you know, it was a marathon FOOD Thursday!
Friday, we had thought to go back to Clermont, but Richard called and said Mellan was just too tired and needed a day of rest. I am glad she realized that. It didn't bother us at all to stay home and do laudry and rest.
Saturday morning we went to the Hilltop Church of Christ. TM for a men's breakfast and me for a ladies gathering. His was over by 10a and he was to pick me up at 1p. I texted him around 12:15 that he shouldn't come til 1:30. Can you believe the whole thing ran a little late? It was really inspiring. The main speaker was interesting. She did a kind of stand-up comedy routine based on the book of Esther. But she did manage to get her point across of using every moment in time to God's glory. There were 5 of us from Central and around 100 ladies all together.
Sheila sent me a text asking us to dinner - thank goodness I had my phone on vibrate. I forwarded it to Don and he called her to get details.
We went over there about 4p and had such a nice time. Sheila was doing the cooking - after all it was for Michael's birthday - so I was in the kitchen talking with her. Michael & TM were talking computer stuff. Mary and her boyfriend, Kyle, were doing homework. Sheila made lasagna and it was wonderful! We enjoyed the visit so very much. They are all so busy that we don't see them often enough. Sheila and Mary took some of the jewelry I had made recently. Mary took some of the scrapbook pages I have been making.
TD stayed in the back yard. Around 7:30 he barked a couple of times (he is not a barky dog), so we figured it was time to go. Actually there was probably someone walking by that made him bark, but we did need to get home. We made it back by 9p.
Well, I guess I have rattled on long enough.
God Bless
