Just a short time to get you updated. Busy week here - VBS going on - "Sky - Everything Is Possible With God" is our theme (Group Publications). Great turnout and a full house every day. I just get to run the soundboard and sit back and enjoy myself - help with snack set-up; clean-up after snacks, etc.
Tomorrow we have NOW District Convention through Saturday downtown at the Oregon Convention Center (same place the Intl. LWML was last time). Great place - I ride the MAX down and bring it back home at night.
Kristi and her friend Clarence will be shining around this weekend also; they fly in on Friday and head to a reunion at the beach; then back again on Monday to go back to Texas - he works in Beaumont - manager of a sports shoe(?) company - Champs. I've not heard of the brand.
You may remember that my first car was was an Oldsmobile VistaCruiser - it
was the flower car for Wharton Funeral Home in Aurelia ... I bought it
in 1971 or so. Well, as I was driving today I followed another "flower
car" - not for a funeral home, though ... just another car to Keep
Portland Weird!
and it didn't look like they were just 'taking the flowers home - I think they were permanent!
if that's too far away, it looks like this:
It made my day! But it matched the "wisdom" of a family on our daily walk who have a pickup parked in their driveway most all of the time; the the teenage girls who live there decided to plant grass seed in the bed - their dad had hauled soil and didn't get it all out of the truck. Oh well, it those kinds of things that keep me happy! That, and gardening ... or maybe you haven't listened to last Sunday's sermon.
That's it from here.
Love ya.
Karina and Dan
We're here! Just listened to the gardening sermon. Nice! Saw some familiar raised beds! Re: seed - see ...on the river for a confirmation of seed and patience. Good thoughts for me to remember -- especially in the witnessing arena.
ReplyDeleteYes, we remember your first car. I loved it. I loved it when you left it with us at CO while you went to Boston for a spell. I used it to haul Ben and dirty curtains to the laundry house. Ben in the laundry basket (big industrial size) and me sorting all those terry cloth curtains that Ginny had sewn through the years. It was a great fall.
