A great party

We arose early so we could worship at 8. We went to an Episcopal church where there is a woman “priest”. I enjoyed the liturgy and even communed but was disappointed that Jesus didn’t make the sermon. Instead an historical figure Julian, “the first published female in history”, was the center of attention. We will not be returning. The “priest” was very friendly and welcoming after the service. In fact I thought she would never let go of our hands. We returned some DVDs to the library and then went to the Waffle House for a waffle. We drove to OSLC to get the rhubarb our friend had promised to bring. We returned home and rested. Evelyn drifted off to sleep and I ate some dry cereal for lunch around 1. We left for Franklin around 2 and tried to find our friends, Barry and Jackie Conover but couldn’t. They were at a picnic. We went to a mall to kill an hour before we were expected at Jones. We looked for many things to put atop of the entertainment center and finally found something Evelyn liked--some artificial geraniums. We went on to the party--a low country boil--and had a good time with Jones neighbors. The menu was gumbo, boiled sausage and shrimp, boiled potatoes and corn on the cob. Of course there were plenty of drinks. I controlled my intake, but Evelyn still wanted to drive home. We got here and she redecorated the entertainment center in mostly red. She talked with Emily and learned about their beach camping trip. We went to bed late.
