Saturday

Hungry men at the breakfast.




Saturday was the men’s breakfast at church. We always watch a short video of Max Lucado after breakfast, and then I try to get a discussion about it going. This morning was more successful than some days. The men then helped place tables for tomorrow’s ordination dinner. I came home and we went to the lake to walk. It was lunch time when we finished and then time to begin our projects for the day. Evelyn vacuumed the car while I applied stain to the sewing machine she bought for Olivia. I also brought in the cables and ran them from the satellite box to the television set. It made the picture 100% better. I then washed the car and Evelyn helped chamois it. We then took our showers and had some peach cobbler she had made. We agreed that it was mediocre, lacking in proper sweetness. I watched part of the NASCAR race and the baseball game. We decided to see if we can get tickets to the race at the Lowes Motor Speedway next May. One of our friends from Trail’s End has a son who buys tickets for all the races each year and may sell some tickets to us. We didn’t eat a proper supper but went off looking for the house of one of Evelyn’s high school friends. He and his wife live about three miles from here in the mountains. We found the house but no one was home. We then went down town to Pheasant Hill, a very general store and listened to some trio from Florida that sang original compositions by one of them. We didn’t like them much and came home to popcorn. We also watched Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Weber. The man is a musical genius. It was difficult to follow all the meanings in the play but the music was great. I think the theme is the struggle of good and evil that is constant within each of us but will have to watch it more times for more understanding. I also contacted the couple we are trying to get to church but neither can come tomorrow. We will try again next week.
