I had a good time with my Dad. He was looking forward to company. He had driven to church today. He has been reluctant to go of late. The ministery has changed hands and the new minister is just not up to my Dad's thoughts on who and how a minister should be. Dad isn't into theater at church--and that does sound like a big focus now. I know he misses Mom being there with him as well. He feels guilty for not volunteering to do more at church. (In the past he has ushered, fed people, tended the gardens, played on the baseball team, gone door to door on their membership drive.) I remind him he has put in his time and now it is time for someone else to take on that opportunity.
We went to see our "friend" Mo at the Dearborn Inn. Mo is very kind and patient with my Dad. Mo always remembers what Dad likes to drink, eat and offers that first. He makes good recommendations and quickly brings bread to keep our stomachs happy.
One of my delights was finding gas for $2.86 a gallon. I had purposely run in on fumes hoping gas was lower than here (It is #3.09 here). I have included a picture of the gas sign for those who will doubt me. The drive in was spectacular as the trees were bursting with orange and yellow colors. My Dad and I took a short drive around the west side to see some of the trees off the main streets.
When I was driving past the airport, a 747 was coming in from ??China???Japan??? somewhere special. I slowed down so it could go right over my open moon roof. I flashed my lights and yelled "WELCOME TO DETROIT!!! WELCOME TO THE USA!!!" I always feel it is important to great travelers in a kind way.
Ah a big shout out to Brad Bobenmoyer on his birthday!!! "Brad Brad he's our man, if he can't do it, nobody can!" I am sure Jeanine is taking good care of him on his birthday. Reminds me that your Gpa, Jeanine said he is saving some fertilizer for the two of you. It should go in the ground soon (as in prior to winter). Gpa removed it from his car because it was smelling up the new car. Aunt Denise offered to drive it over to your house. Perhaps you can connect by calling Gpa.
Talked with my sister, Emily, late last night. Jasper was splitting wood, Lucas stacking the wood. Our call was interrupted when Jasper careened down the hill and gash opened his elbow. Life in the country can be so exciting! Veronica got a new kitty (after losing poor Wheezy to a stroke)--though he came with the name George--they are not sure what they will call him.
Well that's all the Sunday night news.
Hope you are enjoying your bliss-filled day.
