"Cajun" guests

Sunday brought another blessing in worship. When I changed the time last night for DST, I forgot to check the alarm setting and the blessing was that I have a back up alarm set for 7:30. It went off and saved us. We rushed to dress and got to the RV park in plenty of time. 45 came to worship and we were all blessed by Holy Communion. The bad news is that people are beginning to return to their homes in the north. It will only get worse from here on. I don’t know how many will be left for our Easter celebration. We finished a tad late so I rushed Evelyn home so she could prepare for our dinner guests. I went on to Llano Grande to preach at their park. There were 343 in attendance today and they seemed to be blessed by the message. I returned home to help with the final preparations. The guests came at 12:30 and we served them crawfish etouffee. One couple is from Wisconsin Rapids, WI while the other lived in Lafayette, LA for several years. They were delighted with the dinner my sweetheart prepared. We began with boudin and finished with fudge pecan pie topped with French vanilla cool whip. We talked until about 3:45. We showed them all the things we were doing to the house and then finally I hinted that they leave. I washed all the dishes while Evelyn dried them. I then made her lie down to rest. I watched the NCAA pairings and was surprised not that Purdue was selected but that they were selected as a 9th seed. I thought they would be in double digits. I then went to the hall to help dip ice cream. We had a large crowd but finished early. There were many younger people visiting and were more polite than the people who live here. One of the perks for serving is that we get our ice cream free. Others must pay a whopping $.50 for a huge bowl of the stuff. I brought mine home so we could share it. I then tried to call the NCL cruise line to learn where our ports of call are. They weren’t in although the web site said they would be. I also tried calling Cingular to update our plan but they weren’t there either. I did get through to our former neighbor LuAnn. She had little to say. I made some microwave popcorn and then we watched what Evelyn wanted to see on TV.
