Trinity Fellowship Church of the Brethren

Waynesboro, PA

Since we had a two-hour drive to Trinity, we were out of the house at sunrise this morning.

We planned to arrive half-an-hour early, because we were sharing about our work with TFC – via PowerPoint – for their Sunday School session.  However, Cerwin thinks he messed up the GPS unit when he brushed dust off the screen, and since we did not know the back roads it took us about fifteen minutes off route before we realized we were going the wrong direction.  Consequently, we arrived about the time Sunday School started.  It was a bit nerve-wracking, but at least we weren’t late. 

We had a super morning and enjoyed visiting friends and making new ones.  I even met two blog friends – it was great to see http://www.xanga.com/RoseKay and http://www.xanga.com/beckysherwin.  I never met Rose, but we knew each other immediately.  I’ve known Becky since she was a baby, but don’t get to see her very often since she married and moved two hours away.  It was neat to catch up on her life.

After church we were invited to Dean and Diane’s house for lunch.  (True to the life of a trucker – Dean could not be there because he had a load to deliver in Iowa.)  I liked this decoration just outside their entrance door.

We had a delicious lunch of smoked pork chops (grilled), gourmet potatoes, peas, rolls, and pumpkin roll and pecan bars for dessert – plus the items pictured below.

We enjoyed meeting their friends Tom and Joyce and Earl and Barb.  Our hostess, Diane is sitting next to Cerwin.

Joyce, Tom, Barb, and Earl.  I should have asked them to look up – they were all intent on eating!

Pickled miniature peppers and cole slaw – I could have made a meal out of these!  She canned lots of them earlier in the summer.

Delicious Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad

A beautiful fruit dish.

Our afternoon conversation never lacked for interesting subjects, and it was time to go home before we realized so many hours had gone by.  Thanks, Diane, for making sure we had a fabulous day.
