Finishing the convention in style.
Saturday we didn't have breakfast plans. I finished the leftover pork and Evelyn went to an Arby's for a breakfast sandwich. It was the only thing open. We then went to hear Phyllis Wallace. She speaks on the "Woman to Woman" program produced by the Lutheran Hour Ministies. She spoke for nearly 2 1/2 hours. I could understand little. It sounded like echoes to me. Evelyn heard it well. We had expected to hear Reverend Klaus too but didn't. We served some time as volunteers again and then walked down through a downtown farmer's market instead of having lunch. We went back to the hotel and Evelyn rested. I went back to go through the exhibits and discovered some extra fudge brownie served to the exhibitors. I went back and clled Evelyn to come to join me in the delicious decadence. We ate in the volunteer's lounge we had discovered yesterday. We also got some small bags of Doritos, etc. for tomorrow's snacks. We went back for some of the afternoon final session. Evelyn noticed it was on Spiritual gifts and wanted the information given. We had missed the presentation. We later found the answers in the booklet and she can use the material in her continuation of the Bible study she is leading at church. I had to go to rehearse with the choir at 2:15 so we separated. We rehearsed and then sang in the rally, so Evelyn and I never met. I get so filled with joy during some of the songs that I can hardly sing. I do stick with it though. I looked for Evelyn after the rally but couldn't find her. I went to the room looking and decided to take a couple of items to the car. I then went back looking for her and the Grotrians. I found her in her good dress and everyone else in semi-formal attire at a cheese and fruit soiree. I was in shorts, not realizing this might be more formal. I was not a happy camper but had no time to go change. I stayed and then we went to the closing dinner. It was delicious; prime rib, asparagus, mashed potatoes and cheesecake. During dinner, a bluegrass band entertained us with gospel bluegrass tunes. The program was a "good ole boy commedian". He was funny. We said goodbye to Tom and Janet and went back to the room to take another load to the car. We will be able to leave soon after worship tomorrow. We want to make it to the KFC "shrine" in Corbin by lunch time. This is where Colonel Sanders developed the secret recipe for the chicken Evelyn loves so much.
