The top picture is the one Evelyn bought Saturday night. They are both beautiful photographs put on canvas. Ours is of Lake Junaluska where we walk.


Saturday I was up and off to the Men’s breakfast at church. Evelyn took me and then went to walk the lake. We had a good breakfast and then had a very interesting discussion about food and food preparation. Unfortunately, there was no Bible study or discussion about God or Jesus. In fact, after the opening prayer, Jesus was never mentioned. I enjoyed the fellowship but will plan and execute some sort of study for next time. If that doesn’t fly, I won’t return. We came home and I prepared some hamburgers to cook on our grill. It was still early so I walked around and visited with the Rogers. I came home and cooked the burgers. We enjoyed them and have 5 left for future meals. We cleaned up the grill which was extremely greasy, and Evelyn cleaned the furniture on the front porch. We then rested for our night out. We dressed and went to the hotel to deal with the e-mail and then went to the block party downtown. It featured three bands and many shops open for shopping. We went to a art shop where we saw a panoramic photograph of Lake Junaluska put on canvas and bartered for a price. Evelyn did the negotiating and did a marvelous job. We got the piece originally priced $495 for $350 and will have the frame changed to more closely match our entertainment center. We want to hang the photograph on the wall above it. After dancing a couple of times in the street, we came home and had popcorn while watching “The Curse of the Lottery” and some of the NBA playoffs. Off to bed to sing praises to our God tomorrow at church. We are both in the choir.

Sunday we worshipped and sang in the choir. We were welcomed by most of the people who had missed us during the winter. We went to a brunch with some friends, the McElroys, at the Maggie Valley Country Club. We wanted to hear Forest Ramsberg play the grande piano but learned that his performance had been canceled. We had just seen him last night and expected him there. He wasn’t. Perhaps he was given a last minute call. We enjoyed the brunch but I was irritated that I was charged extra for coffee. The meal cost $16.95 each and could have included coffee. It is the small things that irritate customers. Everything else was great. We came home exhausted from the “activity” and rested during the afternoon. We watched some of the Indy 500 and the Cubs Dodgers game. We went for our daily walk at 7 PM and then went home to bed.
