Over 95 yesterday, no rain, but not as humid as sometimes.

I was the song leader at the Fellowship, which just meant I stood at the podium to sing the hymns and encourage the congregation to join me. Ray was in the sound booth. Kelly told stories, mostly about her 95-year-old mother, who is apparently quite a character. She told a variation of the story of the Three Little Pigs to the children (with a fox hand puppet she described as a wolf in fox's clothing). It was hilarious and they loved it. I will need to ask for a recording.

We came home and had some lunch: Salade Nicoise. (ask Ray about hard-boiling eggs in the microwave--don't try it at home). I researched recipes for dinner and later in the week. Then we drove down to Watkinsville to buy peaches from Thomas Orchards. We split a peach ice cream cone. We went to Legion Pool for a quick dip.

Ray cooked chicken on the grill and I had cooked some rice early for a cold rice salad. We also had green beans from Herb and Myrna. I gave them some chard and tomatoes in exchange, but they gave us LOTS of really tasty green beans. We froze the rest, which required an hour or so standing at the sink, cutting the ends of and cleaning them. This is not good for people with bad backs. By then, we only had time for a couple TV shows, and even then it was after 10 when we went to sleep.
