Our Weekend

It was like living in a rainforest on Saturday and Sunday – hot most of the time, sunny some of the time, and rainy several hours each day.

Remember how I was going to prepare a mailing on Saturday?  Well those plans changed when the August/September address upgrade from Pitney Bowes was defective.  It was a bit frustrating, and at first I thought I may have done something wrong.  This is the first time in all the years I’ve used SmartMailer that the CD did not upload.  I tried several times, but each time the screen told me that a file was corrupted.  So that went on hold until Monday.

I know most of you think I don’t go anywhere with out a camera.  However, I did not take it with me after church on Sunday when we went to Carl and Nancy’s house for lunch.  I thought maybe people get tired of me always taking pictures, and didn’t want to be intrusive. 

The Bible Conference speaker, Dan Lehigh, his wife Barb, and our friends Gerald and Joanne were there, as well as Joanne’s mother who is a good friend of Nancy’s mother.  (Nancy’s mother lives with Carl and Nancy.)

Oh, how I wish I had my camera.  Their dining room is pretty, the food was delicious, and they have beautiful flowers, trees, bird feeders and butterfly bushes.  I wish I could show you.  I think I learned my lesson. 

We weren’t home very long before we heard the rumble of thunder, and a windy thunderstorm came through.

One thing that was mentioned at our church’s Harvest Meeting on Saturday afternoon, is that it is easy to praise the Lord for the harvest this year, because the corn is tall, the grass is green, and crops are doing well.

It was a warm, relaxing, refreshing weekend.
