One Car Weekend

Busy weekend…imagine that. The shop repairing the van’s brakes closed at five on Friday, so we only had one car all weekend. Ceil was ready to get out, so she took Anna to the Wesleyan football game at the old Milton High, and Will to a party. She and Matthew shopped. I had a headache, probably from using that mouthwash again. Went to bed after the Braves game, but had to go get Will at 11:30.

Saturday Will and I worked the Living Science Yard Sale, which was fun. Had to go back and get Matthew. They made around $4,000.00, not bad considering they’d had a sale a year earlier. Had a nice chat with Alyssa, who was there with her two sisters. The famous Mary Clayton showed as well, toting her precocious younger brother. As to be expected, I came home with several “treasures.”

Had to make a quick run to Peachtree Corners to recover Anna, before the 7 pm Jimmy Ewing wedding near the Marietta Square. The Marshes looked well, as did Jim. Mark & Leah Stephens, Jim & Suzi Voyles, the Hurts, and Cynthia Bankston Hammond were there. I took notes, and wrote a long recap.

Left at 11 pm, and gathered football scores on the way home. Bob had kept us up to date on the Bama comeback. After dropping off Ceil, I had to once more pick up Will at the Normans. When no one answered the door I quietly crept in, finding Will and Joel fast asleep.

Sunday we went to church, where NP celebrated their 15th birthday. More of a Bible-based sermon than usual. Then Will and I went home, but his practice was cancelled. He napped, and I drove back to get C, A, and M at NP. Joann Fabrics, Steak & Shake, and Harrys took up half the afternoon. Saw the Braves lose and Falcons win.

At 4:30 I drove Ceil the 25 miles over to Lilburn for Passion City Church. Good service, though a much smaller crowd than the one at Cobb Energy Center. WSB weatherman David Chandley sat behind me. I didn’t see him until I shook his hand.

Louie spoke about how God worked in the last few hours of his mother’s life. The doctor was Will’s long-time Sunday School teacher. Time of death was 5:15 last Sunday. The address of Louie’s new church is 515 Garmon Road.

Monday morning I was late to work, and Will late to class, since we had to pick up the van at the shop. I had put over 250 miles on the Civic.
