Sabbath, September 17
Sabbath morning I made it to the Boring church where Jim is
senior pastor. He kindly introduced me to the congregation and as it was
Education Sabbath, had all the teachers come forward. He also invited me by
name to come up so my sitting on the back row was for naught. Potluck was tasty
and Betty, being an outgoing Christian, invited a man with 3 kids under age 6
over for the afternoon. They stayed till about 7:00 even though Jim had
departed at about 5:00 for his next function. I faded out about 9:00 &
trundled off to my motor home while Betty continued to pack for a weeks trip to
Orcas Island (they’d just returned Thursday from Sonora). In his spare time,
Jim likes to drive for Uber & Lyft just to meet people. The property they’re
living on is where Betty grew up from 6th grade on. Her parents
built the house and were forced to sell it due to age a year before Jim &
Betty moved up. When they got up here, the house & property was for sale at
a much lower price than the owners had paid Betty’s folks a year before. Jim
& Betty snapped it up. The trees, large evergreens I mentioned in the
previous post, had all been planted by Betty’s mother years ago and make it
look like you’re living in the forest.
