More drip-ity drip!

Good afternoon,
Drip-ity drip! So goes the last couple of days. Not what you would call nice working days outside. One consolation is that the NASCAR rained out yesterday, is on TV now. Temperatures have been in the mid-40's for highs and some nasty winds off of the lake, at least yesterday. Really drove the moisture though one’s clothing. Bet there were not too many fishermen out on the lake either. Not only cold, but rather windy! The fish were safe I think.
Yesterday was a very busy day at church - baptism and a renewal of wedding vows. Grandchild of one family in our congregation who had a rough life so far. She was born a bit premature and suffered from some medical problems. She sure is a strong little gal now though. Her Dad had a lung collapse last Tuesday for some reason, but was at the service.
The wedding vow renewal happened to be on the fortieth wedding anniversary of the parents of one of our members. It was kind of cool as they were married a couple of years after I was for the first time. It was fun to talk with Warren about the "good-old-days" and to look at the "old" pictures of the time. A time when the women had "big" hair and us guys just had hair! I got to know Warren a bit while working at Dale’s. He and his ex-son-in-law would come in often to pick things to use at the campground they operated. The ex-son-in-law, as far as I was concerned, I always thought as a arrogant jerk and proved it a couple of years ago when he filed for divorce. I think Warren was his commanding officer when they both were in the Air Force in Alaska. Nanette is a sweet gal who didn’t earn this deal. She still runs the campground and her parents still come during the summer to help run it.
After church we went on our normal trek after church to Algoma to check out the town. Nothing at the grocery store on anything like a real special, so left empty handed. After stopping there, we stopped for a bowl of soup and a sandwich at Penguin City. Was some busier as we were there later, thanx to a long service at church. The special of the day, and our fare, was cream of broccoli soup with a ham-salad sandwich. It has been a long time since I have had ham-salad and could have eaten a lot more of them. I did get full though, as Margriet was filled up too much with the soup. I had to keep her from the embarrassment of leaving food on her plate, by eating half of her sandwich!
I have been working on the prayer book a lot yesterday. Managed to scan a couple of units into it and am not integrating with what Bruce has gone over. There are still several units to integrate, and one or two to scan, into it. It is working a lot better now that I have gone to the large page size. Looks weird though after seeing it on the smaller page so long. I also have made a couple more layout changes to make the pages work better and stay within the printer needs too. Much happier now doing the work.
Margriet made a loaf of frozen bread dough Saturday that we bought a bit ago. It turned out very well. Even met Margriet’s approval! I sure like it. Guess the consciences Margriet came to is that it is a do again. Would not be surprised to see some frozen dough in the freezer once in a while. I know it is good as toast with cinnamon and sugar on! Margriet thought so too.
This weekend is the last of LSM for us, more or less. Margriet graduates! I still am amazed at the growth she has made these last couple of years. Much more than I thought possible. Really cool.
Looking for something "Norwegian" on the web, I ran across a couple of neat websites: www.globetrotters.ch and http://www.wanderlust.net . They are about some folks who built, or had built, a couple of motorhomes for some serious off-road traveling! The websites also show some of where they have been and how they got there. While it is fascinating to look at and read, but way too expensive for our petty cash account! Sure would like to ride along and/or help build the machines though.
Time to get a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
