Vorlon Whispers

Wow, it's been awhile. I have been busy with church and Choral practice. The snow is finally gone and I have started raking and cleaning up the yard. The crocuses are starting to bloom and the snow drops were blooming as the snow melted. I am on the list for the church burglar alarm. I've had three false alarms. I think too many people have the code and don't know how to use it. They enter the wrong code and go into the church. The alarm goes off and they quick put in the proper code thinking that fixes it. Once the alarm goes off, the call goes to the alarm company and they call the church. The office is locked and they think they can't answer it. I tell them there is a phone in the kitchen. I think we're going to have to have some alarm training before giving out the code. I think the problem is that people authorized to have the code are giving it to someone else when they are unable to make it to the church for some reason. The new person doesn't know how to enter the code. One day, I had to go out in a snowstorm. I had to clean 4 inches of snow off my car. Luckily, the roads had been cleared. When I got to the church, I saw the men shoveling the walks. The police had already been there, saw them shoveling and drove on by. Last Thursday, it was someone preparing food for the homeless shelter. Once a year, we host the homeless shelter. All the churches in the area take a turn or two for a week in the winter. Friday, it was pouring down rain. I had settled on the sofa with my blanket and my book when I got the call. I didn't see any lights on in the church so I waited for the police. They never came. I saw a lady with a child come out so I asked if she set off the alarm. She said no but there are people in the sanctuary. I went in and the band was practicing for their concert on Sunday night. They didn't seem to care that I had to run out in the rain. They just kept on practicing. I was ticked. The other two people apologized.

I got a gift certificate for Maria's restaurant from the church for Christmas. It was in appreciation for doing the office work. My niece texted me to see if I wanted to go to dinner somewhere cheap. I texted back and said I had the gift cert. and would treat them as Ed had shoveled my walk a couple times in Feb. So we had dinner at Maria's. I got a small cheese steak. It was huge. I said, "is this the small?" The waitress said. "Believe it or not, it is." The large must have been 3 feet long. This one was at least a foot long.
