I put down the rug I bought at the yard sale on Saturday, looks good, then walked over to the IGA and Raye's Mustard Mill. Came back and contemplated mowing the grass but did laundry instead - gonna have to mow this week. Had a light dinner and got Daddy settled in for the night about 8 PM, took the corgis for one last walk before bedtime.

If I could find a church home here, it would save on gas and driving time, but I identify very strongly with the denomination I was brought up in, and the closest is in Portland. The church I went to yesterday, is very beautiful old colonial white steepled Congregational Church and the minister gave a powerful and thought provoking sermon....I liked where he ends up but his theology is a bit different from mine. The people were friendly and welcoming.

I was glad to be there.
sometimes it takes a while to find the right place to put down spiritual roots, but it is a very important part of "being home." At least I think so... I'm glad you had a good experience, despite the different route.

These are also sent by me.
*I am also so happy that the boy I talked about for "not" marching in. Got a excellent grade on his final that gave him the points to pass.

Congratulations to you both!

Congratulations to your 5 y o daughter on making it to the raft!
Thanks Elston, she's been grinning (lacking several teeth right now) from ear to ear all day. She's looking forward to anther try, maybe tomorrow.

I hope you find your church home soon. Finding a place to fellowship is a very important aspect of our move to Maine. I'm a little nervous as my church is the only one I've known for many years.

Be Well!
