We ate fruit compote and whipped cream with our pancakes. I walked out to get the paper in light rain while Ray slept in. Then we got ready and went to church and sang. Linda Lloyd talked about poverty in Athens and people signed up to help during the service. I took some brownies and apple cake that were leflt over and left them on a table with the menu and a basket. Only $10 came in. That is why I did not want to do that. I'm glad I didn't bring more. Chip had said she was going to sell her bread pudding, but she wasn't there and I didn't put it out.

We went home and had chicken cannellini soup from the freezer. Man, was it good! Also, more fruit compote, some rice pudding and whipped cream. The rice pudding was not great. It didn't taste bad, it just wasn't creamy and flavorful (it was vegan). The chickens have been laying about 3 eggs every day, so we have plenty, which is really fun.

We went to feed the pigs in the rain; fortunately, it wasn't heavy, but it is not fun. Ray has heavy rubber rain boots that are right thing to wear.

We had a semi-private dance lesson at 4:30 in Five Points, so we went a little early. We took my Dad some papers he wanted printed out and talked with him for a few minutes. Becky and Kent had agreed to join us, so we will be ready to dance at the wedding. Ray and I had a great time, and I think they did too. We found we could remember most of what we had learned in the summer and fall and added a new move as well. We really like Natalie, our dance instructor. In addition to dancing and teaching dance, she is a lawyer, so she recognized Kent from somewhere.

After that, we had a quick dinner at the Royal Peasant. They were going to Mountain Stage at UGA. It's a live music show on NPR, and we might have liked to go, but it is $35. We just have to stop spending money. I didn't hear a peep from any of the jobs I interviewed for, or the other one I applied for. There is another full-time job that was advertised and I need to send in my resume. I just can't get the energy up for it. It's an Executive Director position and I am afraid it would be exhausting and stressful, but I really should apply and I could always decide after (if they interview me).

Along those lines, I ordered the lamb stew, which was delicious. At home, we watched a lot of TV, making up for all the nights we have been too busy. And knitted. And ate carrot cake, with whipped cream. Ray had picked up the first Dorothy Sayers mystery novel featuring Lord Peter and Bunter at my Dad's house. He read a little bit to me and I went right to sleep.
