Nice Week End

Our church secretary’s previous employer was Ray Charles. She is a talented jazz singer who was once a backup singer for Ray, a Raylette. She has interesting stories. Friday night she performed in a jazz concert that was very good. Good music, good food and pleasant company made for a lovely evening.

Friday was the hottest day of the year, 99 degrees with thick humidity and no wind. Our church had a booth at Bowiefest, a community fun day with lots of booths, food, entertainment and kiddy rides. I worked in the church booth for a couple of hours and felt like a wet rag afterward. The heat made for smaller crowds than in years past. In the evening it was a welcome relief to jump in our daughter’s pool. Swimming and visiting with family made for a full recovery from the heat.

After church we went out to lunch and came home to enjoy a Sunday afternoon nap. This evening we went to the movies. We saw The Visitor. It was an interesting story about immigrants to our country and the struggles they can face. I did enjoy it.

It was nice to sit out and chat.. after paddling around in the pool and having a bite to eat. That was a hot weekend.. and you should get extra credit for volunteering in that heat. AM too! :-)

Oh, my gosh! I heard it was hot but somehow missed the 99 degrees part! Good grief, yes, you deserve a medal!
We haven't even had over 85 degrees yet and everybody is in their pools here.
Family is the best cure for many ailments. Especially family with a pool...
