Back to Mooncrest after 35 Years Away

Here are two of the three curtains Dee made for the kitchen area for the holidays. Nice work!

Yesterday we went to Freedom Square for a breakfast because we had two coupons for free breakfasts. It was the last day for the coupons and the place was packed. But we like the place so we waited a LONG time.

After returning home and changing clothes we went to the funeral of Betty W's brother in Moon Twp. We stayed there until the service began, then we went to the church. It was Mooncrest Community Baptist Church, my first pastorate out of seminary. We were able to visit with about 10 of our former members after all these years. We left there about 35 years ago, so it was quite a reunion! It was good to see the place again. It brought back a lot of good memories and we were able to get caught up on what happened to folks and their children. Lots of fun and like a blast from the past. We stayed at the church until the people started coming in for the two o'clock luncheon. Then we left and headed to Beaver Valley Mall. We hadn't been there since we left Mooncrest Church.

We walked around and looked at the sites. It was nice to not have to be buying anything. Then we used the GPS to find the quickest and best route home. It worked just fine. We were about 18 miles from our place when we left the mall. At home we had leftovers of that beef stew, rice and potatoes and even ham.

It was bitter cold out, so we stayed in and I read in the living room with the fireplace and Christmas lights on, and Dee watched some television, before she did some cleaning of the master bathroom. We watched a program we'd recorded called. "Naughty or Nice" with Goerge Lopez, a Christmas story about a mean sports announcer who is challenged to be "nice" on the air. A comedy with a cool ending.
