Sunday March 6th

It was a bit cloudy to start the day, but the sun warmed up the air and it got to be a very nice day, although a wind blew most of the day.  Strange thing was the wind blew out of the south for the most part; that's unusual for here.  For the most part the temps were in the high 70's / low 80's with a cooling breeze, so very pleasant.
  I got mobile early and after a coffee & banana made my way to the church service at the hall in the park.  It was well attended today and we had some extra music in the service, which was nice.  It's also nice that most of the folks who attend are friends, so it is very comfortable, although I still don't sing.  The service ran a bit long, however I managed to stay until the end of the sermon.  Don always does a good job with the sermon, he is great at personalizing the service and weaving a story with meaning in his sermons.  I must admit I am enjoying getting back in touch with this part of my life.
  We were invited to a brunch this morning at Jim & Barb's, she is the one who organizes water aerobics.  It was a nice change and they had just over 30 people participating.  The main event was omelets in a bag, but everyone brought something to add, so lots of variety.  Marg's contribution was mainly the croissants I had picked up yesterday.  I learned a bit about technique and organization for this today.  Everyone had lots to eat and it seemed that everyone enjoyed it, we certainly did.  This being late in the morning, there was no lunch today.  So Katie, you would have been disappointed as you & grandpa don't usually miss a meal.  LOL  Sometimes people complain about the number of pictures I take, but today several were asking -- where's Dave's camera.  They must like seeing themselves on the FB site.
  Back at our place, we took a bit of time to chill ax [this from Smiths in B'ham, chilling / relaxing].  Cleaned the grill and had a bit of a problem with ants.  By the time I got that cleared up, I had to take the bucket of greasy water to dump away from here.  Then I got a call from Gerry about the tee time tomorrow, so went over to Stan's to keep him the loop and arrange for a departure time.  Marg started the beef roast for supper, putting it on the grill in a roasting tray.  Then she got the potatoes peeled, cooked and in the slow cooker.  We had company coming for supper tonight, there were 7 of us, 3 of the ladies are from the gamblin' gals.  As always supper turned out great and there was lots of food.  Took it easy on the desert, just a few cream puffs as it was ice cream social tonight.
  Lots of dishes so I helped so that Marg could be done in time for ice cream.  We had a bit of time, but it was close.  No splits tonight, so we both just had a dish of ice cream.  Pretty good attendance at the ice cream social, a handful of new people, which is nice to see.  Barely finished our dessert as it was quite close after the big meal at supper.  So after we went for a walk.  As it turned out there were two other couples walking, so a couple of laps around the park and we were ready to call it a day.
