I had a good nights sleep. Several reasons but I was very glad to feel rested and awake this morning!

Church started at Twin Lakes at 10:30am. I was out there a little early and got settled before worship. It was great singing and worshiping in the sunny morning air.

Todd had a message about meals – how they bring us together as a community. How we feel comfortable and encouraged and motivated by breaking bread together.

Then, after the message and communion, we did exactly that – ate lunch together!

The kids were playing games, hide and seek, and catching softballs. Mostly the adults ate and chatted. Betsy brought her new puppy Wilson. It was a nice time to be together.

Once the picnic broke up, I drove over to the other parking lot and met Ron – his church was having their picnic at a pavilion across the lake. We took a walk around the upper lake, and a friend of his from Maplewood church walked with us. Turns out she’s a friend of someone from HCC! We parted ways with Penny at her car then Ron & I said our goodbyes and each headed out. It was a really nice day.

I came home and made macaroni salad for tomorrow’s ‘corn’ trip to the farm, and got the supplies organized. Kathy stopped over and brought me a cute AUTUMN sign and some chili and applesauce. The horses were on the hill. Now I am finishing up typing and will be done for the evening.
