The Mis-adventures of Mimi! by …. Mimi. Well, this afternoon Autmn txt me and asked for a favor. Her sisters Summer and Josie, and Summer’s friend Dom, were getting a ride to Mammoth Park – IF they had a ride home. So I agreed to the specified time. Autmn txt me with a 30 minute warning. When I picked her up, she had gift cards and wanted to stop at Starbucks. I said, ‘That’s the whole other way!’ — BUT — she had gift cards. Sigh. So we went through the sort-of long line, and she got some drink that I can’t pronounce the name, and some cake pops for all 4 of them.

Wax paper | ordinary (mostly) | Westmoreland county, Wax paper, Mammoth lakes — Mammoth Park – no clue where we’re going…

So we set off for Mammoth Park, but when we got there she didn’t know where they were. After some interesting discussions (???) we learned they were at the playground. Hmm. Dom sent her a picture, and confirmed that they were at… Twin Lakes! Ugh! So back in the car we went, and took some creative short cuts to get to Twin Lakes. By now both of us needed a restroom, so we swung into Wendy’s parking lot. It was 6:07pm. They closed at 6. Same for Dunkin’ Donut. Ugh! So we fairly FLEW back the winding roads to Twin Lakes – upper lake – playground. But we made a bee-line for the restrooms. When we came out we didn’t see them. BUT – we had left our phones in the car! So we trudged back up the hill, and Autmn txt Dom. Long story short (too late for that), they started walking up the hill and finally saw Autmn standing outside our car! They are all really nice kids, and I wasn’t really angry – but there were a few tense minutes when I wondered what we would do if we couldn’t find them! They all had their cake pops and were happy – so the story ends well. Now I need to get something to eat after I finish this post. THE END!

I was able to dig up the rest of the steps and rake up all the stones in that area. Something accomplished with my day beside mis-adventures!

There is a root sticking up that I can’t get out so I stuck a solar light in to keep from tripping over it!

I will share Scott’s message from First Baptist. Lose it all; win everything. People are searching for God; the soil is fertile. There are so many who need introduced to Jesus. God’s spirit goes before us to enter their hearts so we can harvest. Harvest only comes after planting. We are often intimidated by sharing Jesus, and sometimes the message is rejected. Bud Jesus still died for us, even for those who reject Him. The seed sown is life – Jesus gave His life to banish death and give US life; He paid the price. He showed His love by laying down His life; we ought to give our lives for others. We should share God so more lives can be touched. The seed sown is costly; are you willing to pay the price? The yield is abundant, and we will reap a great harvest. You can’t out-give God!

On this day in 1765 the Stamp Act passed – the first direct British tax on American colonies. In 1790 Thomas Jefferson became the first Secretary of State under President Washington, and in 1861 the first US Nursing School was chartered. James Stewart was inducted into the army in 1941, and in 1963 the Beatles released their first album, “Please Please Me.” In 1968 Lynda Johnson (LBJ’s daughter) was ordered off a San Francisco cable car for eating an ice cream cone, and in 2020 India put 1 billion people under daytime curfew to curb the COVID-19 virus. William Shatner (actor) was born in 1931, James Patterson (author) in 1947, and Reese Witherspoon (actress) in 1976.
