Some lapsed time

Saturday we tried to go to some garage sales but could find only one sign but there was nothing there. We had lunch and I watched some of the Little League World Series. We left to go to a Blue Grass fund raiser at a small town called Fines Creek. It was very hot and humid, but we were able to sit under a canopy erected for the event. There was a semi trailer made into a stage where several local groups performed. There was also a clogging group that performed on a temporary stage. We were surprised to see our neighbors from across the road come to the concert too. The wife did not seem too friendly so we left early
and went to bed .
Sunday we celebrated our Lord’s Supper and heard a good sermon. We also went to the Bible class featuring a comparison of Islam and Christianity. We had had other classes on the subject but seemed to learn more from this one. The biggest surprise to me was that Muslims think God has no feeling for His creation. We believe that God loves us and wants a relationship with us. They don’t. It makes us wonder why God would create beings He cared nothing about. We came home and relaxed in the afternoon. Paul and Shirley called and said they were almost to Maggie Valley. We had planned to invite them for dinner but they went to their daughter, Laurie’s. We did serve peach cobbler to them at our home. We planned to go to with them and another neighbor to J. Arthur’s, a restaurant in Maggie Valley, tomorrow night.
Monday we went to the tennis court instead of walking around the lake. There were 27 people there, all over 50. The system was unique. Cards numbering ace through 6 were spread on a racquet. We all drew a card and the red 2s were partners against the black 2s on court 2, etc. Each game had a 20 minute time limit, after which there was another draw in which anyone who had sat out were permitted to draw first. We played two sets but were so bad, we doubt that we will return. We had not hit a ball since 1996, Evelyn has only one good eye, and I retwisted my back in the first set. No wonder we are no good. Perhaps we would improve if we played again. Our problem is that we know the other people there won’t miss us.
