An invitation to dance.

We were up, finished with breakfast, and on our way to Bible study by 9. We were a bit disappointed in the study but not the worship. The congregation lined up outside holding palm branches and were led into the sanctuary in song. We were blessed with Holy Communion and then were invited to go to lunch and dancing at Mulates. There is a couple in this congregation that have danced at Randols on nights we were there. After worshipping with them for 2 Sundays over the past year, they invited us to go to lunch and dancing with them. The dance was a graduation of some couples from a beginning Cajun dance class. It was much like the graduation from our square dance class. We enjoyed the dancing but Evelyn was able to eat only a salad because she was having some stomach problems. We left there around 2 and drove to downtown Breaux Bridge. We had hoped to find a flower show, Blooming on the Bayou, but learned it was for only 1 day—yesterday. We changed from church clothes at a filling station and then walked around the small town for about an hour. We looked in several antique stored for something to hang on our wall in NC but found nothing we liked. We returned to the hotel, and Evelyn went down for a nap. I went to the Best Stop and bought some smoked boudin, andouille and 1 pound of frozen crawfish tails. I gave them to the desk clerk to put into the motel freezer over night. We talked with the Beelis, and I hooked up the car so we could leave early in the morning. We watched TV for a while before going to bed. We didn’t have any supper as such. I had thought we would go dancing, but Evelyn wasn’t feeling much better. We will have a long day of driving tomorrow.
