Well, I was pretty depressed yesterday morning, even while playing racquetball (with tears obscuring my vision, I didn't play my best games!) However, it was better later in the day. My Mom and I went to Kroger and bought a week's worth of groceries. It was kind of fun. Of course, we don't have to buy meat or much in the way of veggies, so I am not sure how we spent $130! We waited until Wednesday, because it is Senior Citizen day and we get a 5% discount. Except, I paid this time and they didn't give us the discount! We didn't notice until we were in the car and then it didn't seem worth going back. I suppose technically I am not entitled, but if Mom had paid, we would have gotten it, I'm sure. It's mostly funny, because we made such a point of only going on Wednesday.

After lunch, Captain and I worked on adding a third bin to the compost pile, which involved unloading concrete blocks from the truck. They are heavy! I would have left it for Ray, but couldn't let my Dad do it by himself. Then I continued with weeding, he started watering and Vanessa came out to clip the grass around the outside of the garden fence. Watering involves getting out the tractor (her name is Matilda) and trailer, putting an empty barrel in the trailer, running an extension cord from the garage for the pump, and pumping water from the full rain barrels into the empty one, then from the now-full one to the garden via a hose.

About three o'clock, they stopped work and went to an open house they had been invited to. Ray took the bus and met them there so they could bring him home. Potluck was good and choir practice was entertaining. We are trying something new at the Fellowship. This Sunday night, there will be an additional, "contemporary" service. We rehearsed this upbeat sort of light rock music with 3 horns, 3 guitarists, drums and lots of soloists. The words are kind of amusing--we are a river that flows to the sea...you'll just have to listen for yourself!
