It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m going to post the Word Garden early, because mostly it will be Friday and Saturday adventures, anyway, except for Sunday School. Mary was on vacation so we stayed low-key. It worked out so well! We talked about how God made us Special, and how we were alike and how we were different. They had some interesting thoughts to share! They all agreed that Gracie had the longest hair, and Max was the loudest! And he was BEST at baseball!!
I stopped at L&L Fleatique on the way home, just for fun. There was nothing that I felt drawn to (for purchase) but I did see a few craft items that compared to what Harold was showing us on Friday night. He was going to work with Hazel (their granddaughter) to make things to sell at the spring festival. So I sent pictures to them!
I had a salad for lunch, then started a laundry load. I took the baby gifts from two Skunk Hollow girls up to Autmn (she was at her mom’s) and a box of shared items from Beth, then actually got a txt message from Beth. She sent me pictures of Bernie’s custom cupcakes and the special order cookies. I found a picture of Bernie to share, as well! Happy birthday, Bernie!
I just now got a txt message from Kathy. She and Paul are on their way to Georgia for vacation. These are a few pics of the mountains going through West Virginia. PERFECT day for traveling!
OK – back to Friday. Kelly got here about 10am and we headed over to Vanderbilt Church (Greg & Lynn), as they were having a rummage sale. We bought a few things there and most of all chatted with Greg & Lynn for a bit.
We must have traveled through time and space. This was on the block across from the church!
The ride down and back was so pretty and the little town of Dawson was FULL of wonderful, historic buildings. We drove around all the side streets and took pictures. We were captivated by the one big old stone church. And we got stuck behind a line of cars at the train track that goes right through the town!
The stone church: Phillip G Cochran Memorial Methodist Church
NOW – for the rest of the houses. Kelly was my photographer. Cross the bridge and this is what you find!
So that was our afternoon and morning adventure! All those amazing buildings within about a block. What a quaint little town. We drove back to Greensburg and popped into Walmart as Kelly needed a card. Sometimes I who wonder who thinks up these things….
We did a little shopping, then headed home as Kathy and I had to head to Indiana for the Bonfire. So now we’ll jump to Saturday!!!
So Saturday we did some laundry and I fixed one of Kelly’s shirts to fit better. Then I pressed the shirt and a few other items, made lunch, and we headed to Latrobe airport to pick up Logan from his Disney trip. They all three were glowing and had a great time! Even though Kim and Greg were not HUGE Star Wars fans, they loved the Enterprise expedition and couldn’t say enough good things about the week. I was so happy for them, and felt myself being emotional for the blessings they shared together. Kelly even got her picture taken with Arnold!!! Logan was really excited about his Light Saber. Which he demonstrated in the garage where it was a little darker.
Once Logan and Kelly left, I cut the grass, then changed and went to the civic center to usher for a play for Bear. I did not stay for the play – I determined that my week had been fairly busy and I could use an early night. But it was nice to see Bear and talk to him for a bit. We have been friends from a VERY long time — since the 80’s maybe???
Kathy sent me pictures of their train adventure in Hollidaysburg. Sarah, Millie, Wyatt, Kathy & Paul went and had a great time. Quote from Kathy’s email: “The station was all decorated with bales of hay, scarecrows, pumpkins, mums, etc. They had pumpkin bowling, pumpkin checkers, and other games to play while we waited for the “All Aboard!” call. Wyatt was beyond himself excited. He loved every minute of it. When we got to the pumpkin patch, there was a hay maze, little clusters of pumpkins, pumpkin cookies and the best cider I have ever tasted. Millie did the maze several times and picked a bumpy pumpkin. Wyatt looked at a few pumpkins but hurried back to the engine and pointed to it. The engineer was so sweet to him.” Here are some pictures:
So it was a great week, great weekend, for everyone! My October – so far – looks far quieter and I’m actually hoping it sort of stays that way. I’m sure I’ll have things come up that will be fun and entertaining – like U. S. Grant at the Library on the 14th. In the meantime, maybe I can slow down the pace!
Scripture:
Quote:
TOMORROW October 2nd is:
National Custodial Workers Recognition Day; National Child Health Day; National Name Your Car Day; National Fried Scallops Day; National Consignment Day; National Produce Misting Day; National Smarties Day.
Well, I’m surprised that produce has their own misting day. And I know Aunt Joan likes Smarties – so I hope she gets some tomorrow! I could never name my cars – I switch too often! I wouldn’t remember! So go consignment shopping and have a great Monday. God bless…
