Sedate Sunday

Sunday was a long awaited day at our church. First we worshiped and had Holy Communion. The choir sang during the offering as usual. Then the congregation went outside for a blessing on the ground breaking for the addition to the existing church building. Following this was a catered dinner for all who wanted to attend. I had written a check for a contribution but there was no basket. I don’t remember going to a church dinner where there was no opportunity to give. We came home and Evelyn realized she had left her purse at the church. We changed clothes to go walk and went back to church. The people cleaning up were still there and we got the purse and some railroad spikes from along the tracks that run behind the church. I need them to hold our cup on a stick upright in our flower bed. It keeps leaning over. We went and walked the lake. It was good that we took our umbrellas because the sprinkle we had experienced at the ground breaking developed into a nice shower. We came home and Evelyn went to bed while I watched the Cubs/Pirates game. Afterward we had intended to go to the band concert in Maggie Valley, but Evelyn was too cold and it was still rainy. By the time the concert was to start it was sunny. I made popcorn and had a beer while Evelyn drank a Mike’s cranberry lemonade. We had some rhubarb pie and watched “Must Like Dogs”, a movie about people who meet via the Perfect Match service on line. Then Evelyn wanted to watch a special about WGN TV and the Cubs. After that we watched some more and read the Sunday Asheville Citizen Courier we have subscribed to. We went to bed late.
