Well.
The Jam Sessions have been
called off too, due to the Hell jeannie paulson stirred up, on the hill ☹
While
not directly connected to the {church} … several people did attend there, as I
did; and when all Hell broke loose – the jam sessions came to a halt as
everyone chose sides and took positions.
So.
I’ve sent
out feelers to find something else to do 😊
Today,
I had lunch with a friend – and we kicked around some ideas: nothing concrete
yet, but some possibilities, that hold promise 😉
I like
driving to ‘the Ranch’: it’s a nice country drive, and the views of Mr. Rainier,
the Cascade Range, and Mt. St. Helens are spectacular.
Afterwards, I stopped at Wal*Mart to buy a coffee
pot for the Monday and Tuesday classes at my house; I had thrown away the
coffee pot I had in 2018, when the doctors said Bob could not have any more
coffee (Bob’s body died anyway). I will use Grandma Smalley’s old percolator
pot for me, when I am home alone; but the new one will work better for group
meets.
And –
it was a banner day for Wal*Mart: busy, busy, busy … two arrests … and running
into Mr. Complication. Literally.
Holland is a bear of a man – I bounced off of him; hahaha. He steadied me, saying, “Are you okay, green sleeves?” (in reference to my green top). I laughed. He said, “Are you still mad at me?” I said, “I’m not mad.” He said, “Good. Can I call you?” I said, “You can call – but I’m not promising anything more.” He said, “I’m not giving up.” I said, “You don’t really know me, Holland; all you know about me is what you’ve seen at Oak Point.” He said, “I want to know you. Come to Church with me, Sunday – not Oak Point, another one I think you’ll like, and then we can get to know each other over lunch. I’m off the Oak Point Board in January – jeannie is running the church into the ground. I’m also moving into town; Oak Point has become a snake pit with all the backbiting and sniping jeannie stirred up. Give me another chance, Val.” I stood there, with the Greensleeves tune running through my head, and heard myself say, “Okay.”
So.
I
guess I’ve got a Church and Lunch Date with Mr. Complication on Sunday.
This
{thing} is complicated.
