My new hairdo.
This morning, I went to a Senior activity at the Chesapeake City Presbyterian Church on the north side of the canal. The speaker had a computer slide show of the historical buildings of Chesapeake City. Many of the buildings are no longer here. It used to be a community with all the stores one would need within an easy walk. The were two pharmacies, a few gas stations, a general store, a shoe maker, a barber shop, a movie theatre, and The American Store which is now called Acme Market. The Acme is 10 miles north of here. Many of the photos were taken in the 1920's. I brought my lunch but I didn't stay because Danny didn't cooperate this morning. I took him out twice but he wouldn't do his business so I hurried home. I shouldn't have bothered because he didn't do his business when I took him out at lunchtime. I wish he could talk and say, "I don't have to go." He finally went in the afternoon.
I went to the Lenten Service tonight. It was at St. Rose of Lima R. C. Church. They had a soup and bread supper before the service. I sat with a lady from the Methodist Church, Marian. She had a 17 year old girl with her. I don't know if it is her daughter or a friend. Marian teaches the youth group at church so it could be one of her students. The girl's name is Laurel Lynn. (not sure of the spelling). The priest, Father Grasing (pronounced Gray sing), sat at our table. It turned out he went to high school with Marian's brother in Delaware. She grew up on a farm, one of ten siblings. It was a nice service. It was their Vesper Service. Psalms were sung and a hymn was sung to the tune of Amazing Grace but with different lyrics.
The Presbyterian minister gave the sermon. It was very moving.

Hi Karol,
You look so adorable! I love your new curly perm. Maybe its easier to take care of this way. Anyway, it looks really great.
We're in our springtime, but, our temps are so varied each day. Last Sunday was 83 degrees, and now it bounces around in the 50's most days. However, we're not complaining because at least you don't have to bundle all up when you leave the house. Have a great weekend. Ruth
Posted by: Ruth at April 14, 2011 2:54 PMThank you, Ruth. The temps here seem much the same as they are there. It feels so good to ditch the winter coat, hat, boots, and gloves. Yesterday, I put on my sandals. It felt wonderful to ditch the socks and sneakers. Freedom to the feet!
