My boy slept with my brother Don last night. I couldn’t believe he abandon me. Don went to bed first so Danny was ready and followed him. I thought he’d come into my room but he didn’t until he heard me get up and came out to see what I was up to. He’s a funny little dog. Don left around 9:00 and I got ready to go to the little Methodist church in town. I heard a knock on the door and there were two little girls about 8-10 years old. They came to welcome me and told me their names. I later found they were the manager’s grand daughters.
I left for church early because I didn’t know if the street would still be crowded. They were not. Just a few stragglers were around. I got to the church early and was in time for the ending of their Bible study. They had a little hymn sing between the Bible Study and the Service. The people were very nice and many came to welcome me. The service was at 11:15 just like at Vineland Baptist. They share a minister with a church in a nearby town just like the Baptist church. They had some special music by a man who played the piano. He burst out in song with “Jeremiah was a Prophet.” (Bullfrog) He really rocked. I was out and on the road home by 12:08. Ted liked a Pastor who ran a tight ship. The Methodists are like the higher churches in that they have 20 minute sermons. Ted and I both felt any longer than that and you lose your audience. People start drifting off and it won’t matter how good the sermon was, the people won’t get it.
I walked Danny when I got home and had some lunch. I raked up some junk and debris in the storage shed. I’ll put it out on trash day. I sprayed the roundup along the foundation and squirted the poison ivy out back. I did some weed along the walk. There were some giant crab grasses. It looks nice now. I’ll bring my plants and start putting them in. It was hot and humid. It tired me out.
I called Ted’s parents and Ted’s sister was there. We had a three way conversation. I cut it short though as they were about to sit down to dinner.
I haven’t hooked up the cable yet so I have no TV. Now with the digital, I can’t even set up some rabbit ears and I don’t want to get a box for such a short time. I went on the computer and did some research and then played some solitaire. I felt sleepy so I took a nap. Danny crawled in with me. When I woke up, I took him out and found it had rained and cooled off. The grass was wet and the cars had a sprinkle on them but the road was dry. I guess it evaporated in the heat.
I met the little girls during my walk. They were excited to meet Danny Boy. Another little girl had joined them. They were step-sisters. Kiley lives next door and the other two live in DE. They talked away. They are sweet little girls.
I hope my house sells soon. I’m really anxious to get moved in here.
