Reber Reunion

Sunday

It was after 8:30 when I got up. I took supplements and got dressed. I went out to turn on the sprinklers and then to water the plants. I turned on my phone. I moved the sprinklers, then whipped up a batch of cheese squares. I used 4 small eggs, bacon and red peppers. I moved the sprinklers again. The cheese squares came out dark. I washed up and dressed for church. I put cheese squares in a small container. I took my trombone and music to the chapel and got them set up. Then I came home and made breakfast.

I used the Zoom link sent by the reunion secretary at 11. A couple other people signed in that way as well. In the chat, she said it would be another 20 minutes. So I had time to eat my breakfast. I could see people at the reunion finishing up their meal.

Then the business meeting started. They started calling out the sons of Jonathan. I wanted to indicate which son we were the descendant of, but I couldn't get the camera to work. Chris came in and helped me. It was the external camera that came on, not the built-in one.

Anyway, the main discussion was over rebuilding the entrance to the Reber cemetery. Quite expensive since we didn't do it years ago. And it has to be moved because the current owner of that land doesn't want it rebuilt where it is. Lots of accidents happen near there because of the sharp turn.

After the meeting, they turned the sound off. Faye came up and waved at me. Kurt never made an appearance. Then the other Zoom people signed out. So I signed off as well. I had a few moments to taste the cheese squares before I headed to church.

When I got to the chapel, I laid the cheese squares in the back and went up front to play my trombone very very softly as a warmup. I chatted with Keli. She said there were girls that go snooping through the kitchen during the service. Then she went up front to get the service started with three praise songs.

I walked out during the third song to check. The three girls were in the fellowship hall messing with the paintings from last night. I yelled at them quietly but intensely and they left quickly. I went back to finish the song. Saronna passed me in the hall and said I had her full support.

Then Popken introduced the supply chaplain for today – from Fort Carson. He got up and spoke about the importance of staying connected to Jesus. He compared disconnection to a smart fridge when the internet goes down.

After his sermon, the band got up and played two hymns. Then I dismissed the congregation. I talked to Saronna and Keli and Jenni. Later I asked the doctor if the base clinic was testing for MTBE or styrene. He said no, only PFAS.

I took the cheese squares and went home. I read messages. I changed into my suit and laid out on the grass. Chris cooked mushrooms in the oven. At 5 the game started. We all signed into Discord.

We finished exploring the giant's castle and we looted what we could carry. Then we locked the doors and set guards so we could sleep through the night. However, Astrid convinced the dragon to be her mount. They flew out to find the giant Queen. Astrid came back to wake Gravewarden to sneek into the camp and slay the queen. Then Astrid and the dragon terrorized the camp so all the guards and ladies maids would run away. She came back and got totally drunk and fell asleep, which is the condition we found her in when we woke up.

After the game, I worked on my blog post. I made tea and we watched an episode of Criminal Minds. He went to bed and I stayed up a little later to read and close some windows before going to bed.
