A wonderful Sunday

Sunday was the day I sang the short introduction to the choir selection at church. It was only 24 bars but I was blessed to be asked to do it. It seemed to go well and I was blessed by many compliments from those who knew who was singing. We came home for lunch and then watered the newly planted grass in front which seems to be growing nicely despite having no rain. We rested until time to go to Sylva, a small town near here, for a fund raising concert featuring David Holt and the Lightning Bolts. He is good and has a female singer, Laura Boosinger, who sings with him. She is a favorite in the mountains. I called Shirley Casterline and told her about it while we were listening. I had bought a membership to the Jackson County Arts Council, thinking I had to in order to attend. When we got there I noticed many people who were obviously not members in attendance. We got our money’s worth since we had paid to hear the band, but I was a bit miffed in the way we were misled into thinking we had to buy the tickets. We were pleasantly surprised that our membership allowed us to attend a reception for David after the performance. We met him and talked with him for some time since he was originally from Texas. We came home and Evelyn talked with Carrie, her brother John, Pauline, and Joe and Bonny. We have things lined up for our trip to Indiana on the 23rd through the 27th. We want to meet with these people and others while in the Fort Wayne area. We also confirmed with Joe and Bonny, our friends from Texas, that they will come to our area on their way back to the Valley. This means we will come back from Indiana and stay here until November 10 or 11 starting back to Texas. I also talked with Darrell, our contact who is looking for a mini van for us. He still thinks he can find one before we leave Indiana. The Lord continues to bless us and we praise Him for His mercy. It is turning hot again and the drought continues. Things are quite deperate in the Southeast section of the country. We pray for rain.
