It will be hard to catch up. I have been busy with the church finances since Ursula has not been well. She will be starting chemo soon. I had a nice visit with her on Sunday. I got a call from Pastor Mark that someone counting the money for the 2nd service put the money in the safe not knowing the keys to the safe had been stolen. I thought we would have to brake it open with a sledge hammer but he said Ursula had one. I took a drive to Ursula's to get the key. What a beautiful home she has on the Elk River. There are large picture windows in the livingroom and dinning room. Her husband is suffering from Alzheimer's and he likes to sit at the dinning room table and watch the boats heading up and down the river. They are going to and from the Canal and the Chesapeake Bay. I got the key, went to the church and found the alarm was not set. I looked around and found all the fans in the church, kitchen and social hall were left on. I turned off the ones in the social hall and kitchen but did not have the key to the sanctuary. I called several people but could not get ahold of anyone. I thought the fans maybe affecting a motion detector and therefore the alarm would not arm. I took the money to the bank and went home. Around 5pm, Dave's wife called and said he was on his way to work and will stop in the church to see what's wrong with the alarm. Then Tucker called and said there is no motion detector in the sanctuary and a door must have been left open. I called Dave's wife back so she could call him and let him know. She called a while later to let me know Dave found the front door to the sanctuary had been left open. The alarm is new for us and we are still learning how to use it.

Monday, I was busy at the church preparing reports for the Finance Meeting that evening.

Tuesday, I was back at the church trying to find more information that the Finance Committee wanted. I have to tediously search the computer to find the info. It's getting to be a real hassle.

My Choral Society had a fund raiser at a local Italian Restaurant. I went there for dinner. I should have got the veggie pizza but I got the eggplant parm. I didn't like it. It came with speghetti and that was OK but I'm used to real Italian and this is what I call fake Italian. The Philadelphia area has a large Italian population and they have good Italian Restaurants. The Italian's are all over the country but even in Philly it's hard to find a good cheese steak or hoagie.
I went to a famous Philly cheesesteak place and was disappointed. The man had been in business since 1968 but I had been eating cheesesteaks since the 50's and his didn't measure up. Olive Garden goes a good job with their food. The main thing in steaks and hoagies (subs) is the roll. You can't beat an Amaroso's or Buono Bros. roll. Atlantic City Baking Company also makes a good roll.
