Where did the Day Go?

I got up this morning I made myself a pot of coffee and then after emptying the dishwasher I made myself a raisin nut English muffin for breakfast. Since I had slept in a little longer, I stayed up too late watching the Olympics; I had only a short time to get ready for church. Kathleen had not made it downstairs yet but when I got up there she was dressed and heading downstairs to get something to eat.

I changed my clothes and want downstairs and waited for Kathleen to finish eating. We managed to get there on time this morning something that does not happen too often when we both go to church.

Attendance was down a bit from last week, I guess the honeymoon of the new pastor is over already, but it was still pretty full by the time the service started. For our Sunday School class we sang hymns from the hymnal, something that we do not do very often any more in church.

After church we came home and changed clothes and then headed back to church as Aaron and Tami's class was putting on a barbecue for the whole church. This is the third year that they have done this. They roast a few roasts in the ground and then have some salads and cookies.

Kathleen and I were one of the first to venture outside as most of the people stayed inside, what kind of barbecue does one have inside? Anyway after a while Tami brought Becca and Alexis outside to sit with us while she went back inside to slice up some more roast. After awhile she and Aaron joined us along with several of their friends.

We had a good time and after visiting for a while we decided that we needed to leave, they were folding up the tables and taking down the canopies, we eventually got the hint.

A friend of mine has not been coming to class for a while as he is having a lot of hearing loss, he has a lot of fluid in his ears and just a couple weeks ago had tubes put in his ears. He is a little embarrassed by the whole thing and had kind of isolated himself for others.

So I called him to see if they were going to be home for a little while as we wanted to stop by for a while. His wife answered, so we went over and visited for an hour or so.

By the time we left and got home again it was 1630 and both of us were really tired. I changed my clothes and decided to get some work done on my computer and my blogging.

It is getting close to dinner time, so I think I will wrap this thing up and see what Kathleen has in mind for dinner if anything.
