I suppose I had a decent weekend. Worked until almost 630 Friday evening trying to finish up several projects. Still more to do. Was after nine by the time the dishes were finished. We stayed up past midnight watching TV. Jimmy Fallon taped the Tonight Show from his house.
Saturday morning my small group met via computer. Ceil fixed me a big eggy-boy sandwich. Also oatmeal. She HAD to go get Bellwood Coffee, so I drove her. Joel Norman has opened a “window” so customers don’t have to go inside. Business was steady. David and Beth Norman had their baby girl up there on the Bellwood patio. We tried to keep a safe distance away from everyone. Later Becky came up to visit. Catherine Norman is visiting from Memphis, but was hiking in North Georgia with Charles & Annie.
Will asked us to swing by his house, so that was out next stop. He is starting work on a backyard deck. MC gave us a present: a figurine of our family. Didn’t get home until 230, and I fixed a quesadilla for lunch. Later I cut the grass, even mowing down in the woods. That always wears me out. As usual that night we watched Hallmark Channel.
Sunday morning we watched the Passion City Church service. I also tidied upstairs. Late breakfast: scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes. Did laundry and ironed six dress shirts. Watched the news. C cooked spaghetti for supper. Also tossed a salad. Watched her Sunday night Hallmark Channel shows, including When Calls the Heart..
Last week Passion City service was pretty standard. Songs and sermon, a few announcements. This week they added an offertory time, similar to how it’s done in a regular service, with instructions on how to give on line. This week also they added video clips from the recent Passion Conference at Mercedes Benz Stadium. Not sure if that will be a regular thing. Not sure how long the whole things was. They broadcast it several times: 9, 11, 1, 5 maybe more. JFBC broadcast a traditional service, and later a contemporary service. Not sure when the Johnson Ferry service was taped. But the pastor said he watched himself preach from home.
I doubt the North Point and Passion City sermons are on TV but they are on line. Also JFBC. I take it the Youssef sermon was on tape, if he had an audience. Church of the Apostles is on a one week TV delay.
I’m trying to get C to not go out so much. W&MC and Anna were telling her the same thing. Saturday she also went to Pike Nursery. C watches the news but keeps going out. I think she is finally getting the message about staying at home. She still has her cough. She needs to pick up some groceries, so she went to Costco. Maybe the crowds are fewer on Monday with the rain. Friday she drove to Cartersville to spend the day with MC’s mom. Right now the late June wedding is still on. Now I worry about every little cough.
Been wearing my Crocs around the house. That’s what I wore all day yesterday.
Another young missionary couple is arriving home today from the Far East. She is pregnant and he’s been sick before this coronavirus reared its ugly head. A couple from our class had just built a new house north of Woodstock on Lake Altoona. Their property has an older cabin on it, which will be perfect for the missionary couple. Before they’d gone overseas the missionary couple had lived near Atlantic Station, so this will be a little bit of a change.
MC and Anna are working from home. A coworker’s daughter is a medical technician at an Emory medical building. Her boss called and told her she needed to quarantine for two weeks.
Will had a patient with a Phillips head screw imbedded in his finger. All Will had was a regular flat head screwdriver. They had to send the patient to another hospital (just kidding about that part).
Noelle wanted to have us and the Earharts over to sit around the fire pit Saturday night, but that got cancelled. Nancy was sick. Their son Dixon works at Red Lobster, but is currently out with a fever. M worked until 730. Not sure where he went after that.
Saw a video of Michael Jordan’s first game back from baseball, and sure enough, he was wearing his shorts backwards.
ENOS SLAUGHTER [SABR Bio] one-time Milwaukee Brave, dashed the hopes of the Red Sox faithful in October 1946. He dashed home from 1st on a single by Dixie Walker in the bottom of the 8th to win game 7 to secure the Cardinal’s win in the 1946 WS. The Yankees pawned him off on the Kansas City A’s in exchange for Sonny Dixon - 11-May-1955: Traded by NYY with Johnny Sain to the KCA for Sonny Dixon and cash. The Yankees took him back off waivers a year later. Most people knew what country he was from. Hardly urbane, he was born and raised in the small North Carolina town of Roxboro. His nickname “Country” seems quite fitting. He’s buried there as well.
