Friday I flew home in the early afternoon in order to play for the choir at the Good Friday service, following which we went to the pastor's home for dessert. A retired pastor, his wife, and the teaching parish student (like a student pastor) were also present, a most congenial group. Conversation flowed back and forth. I have worked at Trinity for 7 1/2 years now and have met many interesting people who have enriched my life. I'm thankful Randy has also entered into these new relationships.
Saturday morning was spent at the organ practicing; there was more music than usual for Easter. And I needed to work ahead a bit because I will not go home this coming weekend. Since the choir has the Sunday after Easter off, I will remain here. After lunch I cleaned house a little, did some laundry, and auditioned fabric for the two borders on the Dancing Nines quilt, then cut the chosen fabrics into the strips needed and packed them. We made dinner, I boiled potatoes for the potato salad we were taking to Sunday dinner, we sorted tax-related papers and watched an episode of Elementary. Or perhaps I should say Randy watched it, I dozed off and on.
Easter started bright and early. I picked up Alice at 7:05 AM so we'd be at church ready for choir warm-up at 7:30. Both services went smoothly, even the musical sermon Dave and I collaborated on, though I must admit the second time was better than the first. Randy attended the early service at FPCB, then came to Trinity for the second service. We joined several friends for a lovely dinner at Dena's then went to the airport. My flight left late but that was OK since E, K and e were on their way home from a quick trip to LA to see one of K's aunts visiting from Ohio. Little e traveled well, meeting many new people but also seeing familiar faces.
Thus another week begins.
It's interesting to read about things that I did with you!
