Sunday Lunch with Kerri

Sunday we finally got to go to church and sit in the congregation. It was a nice service. The special music for the day was a young man playing the tenor saxophone accompanied by an audio tape. And then later another boy playing the piano for the offering. (Both boys were about 12 years old.) They did well. The morning sermon was titled "What about the weeds? They were to have lemonade out on the lawn for the fellowship time after church, but we had to leave to meet Kerri at the Allegheny Valley exit of the turnpike.

We met at Bob Evans and had a nice lunch. It was great to see Kerri again and she showed us all the features of her new car, a Hyundai Santa Fe. We had a good visit with her and she brought back her camcorder for me to play with. She still had the various videos she'd taken still on the disk, and wanted me to put them on a CD for her. Here's the one of the ushers trying to light the candles at First Baptist Church just prior to the bride's processional. As you can see they had trouble lighting one set of candles. When they finally got them lighted, everyone applauded.(Click play button to view.)

Then we walked through Target nearby and Kerri looked for stuff. I called my mother and had a nice chat. I encouraged her to keep taking her meds. And told her to refill her pill boxes for the coming week. She seemed to know that the list of pills for each box was on the refrigerator door. We just have to keep reminding her that's it's important to take them each day. Kerri got to talk with her some, and told her she's started sewing. She plans to send mom pictures of her sewing projects. (Note: she made us a leash for walking Bonz, too.)

Just as we were leaving Target, the winds stirred up, and it started sprinkling. We reached our cars, just as the pouring rains came. Kerri headed off to Bethesda and we turned toward Mars. The rains lasted about 20 minutes.

At home, we walked Bonz, and he got to play some with his girlfriends, Lucy and Lana. We relaxed on the deck reading and birdwatching until dark. I commented how different our Sundays are now. So much more relaxed. Whereas, before it was up at 5:30Am and then pretty much non-stop until about 8:30PM. Yep, things are different now. PTL !
