The United Church of Christ had a Garage Sale this morning with the doors opening at 9:00am. We didn't get over till 10:30 and didn't buy anything. This is the Church that Elaine grew-up in and where we were married. It was where all four of our children were baptized and where we were members before moving to Lincoln. We get back occasionally for funerals and anniversary celebrations. It is always nostalgic because of the memories, both happy and sad, associated with the place. Elaine not only went to Sunday School there but was Confirmed and then taught Sunday School for a number of years. I sang in a Church Quartet and even played a few softball games with the Church team. There were 2 softball trophies still available when we got to the sale but they were for 1973 which was after I had played, so I did not buy them. Carolyn was there when the doors opened and was able to get one of the little Sunday School chairs which pleased Elaine.
Julie and John rode their bikes over this afternoon. They got the little "trailer" for Sadie to ride in at the time of her birthday last week. She likes to get "strapped in" and enjoys having her Daddy pull her around. We plan to be together again tomorrow when we have a "Birthday Dinner" for Carolyn. John and I will also be playing in the postponed Kiwanis Golf Tournament. This will only be the third time that I have been on the Course this year. We will be playing a 4-person scramble so there is not too much pressure to excel. We just plan to have fun and enjoy it all.
