I heard my phone alarm go off at 8, got
up at 8:30 to shower, juice and eat breakfast. I read e-mail while I
ate, then got dressed. The director asked the choir to come early to
practice, but we weren't early. I practiced while Chris took his
shower. Then when we got to church, I sang it through once with the
choir (which was already in progress). As we waited for the service
to begin, we talked about the meeting afterward concerning having a
blended service. The pastor announced that on March 1st there would be a rummage sale, but no clothing was allowed. That would be some sale. The service went as usual until Jim collapsed at
the end of the choir anthem. I started tapping. Haley called 911.
He was surrounded by the choir men who apparently knew what to do.
They got him on his feet and walked him out to where the ambulance
could get him. The pastor gave thanks for all the people who helped
and then the service continued. The intern gave a powerful sermon
about reconciliation. At the end, we stood in line to shake the
pastor's and intern's hands. We went into the fellowship hall for
someone's 89th birthday party. There were not enough
tables so I suggested to Jennifer's husband, and he set up another
one. Chris got a plate of food, but there was nothing I wanted. A
lot of people were there, but did not stay for the meeting. We did.
People spoke in favor of and against contemporary music. Some seemed
interested in songs using tunes from the 60's. Once a month was
suggested. After the meeting, we talked outside with a few people
who like traditional music. One man liked a polka service he
attended once. Then we went home to change clothes before going to
the grocery store. When we got back, and unpacked, I had lunch and
read e-mail. We listened to Island in the Sun on Youtube 'cause
someone mentioned that he'd like it sung at his funeral. It was a
good day to do yard work, but nothing really to do. So I suggested
we take a walk. And we did. We passed a lady throwing out a
wheelbarrow with a bad wheel. I was interested, but Chris said we
could afford a new one. So after our walk, I grabbed a burnt out
fluorescent bulb and we went to Home Depot. We got a 10-pack of
bulbs, a wheelbarrow, a corded drill, and a weedeater. Now that we
are all set for the summer here, just watch: we'll probably have to
move. When we got home, I replaced the bulb and its light was not
like the others. Sigh. You couldn't tell from the markings on the
bulb. We ate the beef for supper, and read on line articles, etc.
Chris finished off the cake. I went down to work on another heart
block. I had only gotten the pieces cut when Chris came down to
watch TV. The movie was called Where Eagles Dare, a WW2 flick with
Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. After that it was late and we
went to bed.
