Kelly and I left the house at a little before 8am, and arrived in Stahlstown with time to spare. It was cool in the mountains, but we were comfortable with hoodies. The Stahlstown United Methodist Church hosted the service and the minister was very engaging. Her message was ‘Jesus and Mr. Rogers’ – which if you couldn’t guess, it was the good Samaritan. The ‘neighbor.’ She had a short children’s message before the main message, and there were three hymns. It’s the first time in as long as I can remember when I’ve attended an outdoor church service. Very blessed.
We set up my book table outside the Flax Scutching building. Marilee spent a lot of time popping by our table to chat, and a friend that works in the Ligonier Library (Shirley) came over and talked several times. My good friend Ed Kelemen was there, too – he is very successful! Kelly made Energy Balls (which contain ground Flax seed) and we shared with Marilee, Shirley, and Ed. We took turns walking through the tents and checking out the booths. We also had food vouchers for lunch, plus before we left we split a funnel cake. I bought cider so I can have hot cider for breakfast a few times.
The views were wonderful coming down off the mountain. It was a beautiful drive home. We ordered Jioio’s pizza for supper, and that was the perfect ending to our day!
