Hello friends & loved ones,

I never understood why one could not wear white after Labor Day. And if white cannot be worn after Labor Day, what time of year is it acceptable to start wearing white again? Oh well.

Last weekend was our church's 25th anniversary and I daresay a good time was had by all. Friday night was dinner with our Elder and Rev. Delores Berry, an evangelist for the denomination, and her spouse. We went to a steakhouse that Jim and I had been talking about going to for a long time. The food was good and the service (the waitstaff had the white outfits and all) was pretty good. Saturday was an informal discussion with the Elder and then Sat. night we had dinner at a party house and dancing. Another guy and I dj'd and there was plenty of music. There was one request that we were unable to play and it surprised me. The request itself wasn't surprising; the guy who made the request surprised me. A middle aged man requested Pussycat Dolls. I guess young girls aren't the only ones who like that kind of music. Sunday we worshipped at a Unitarian church (not enough room in our church) and it was a fabulous service. This weekend marks our last service in our current church and we'll be worshipping in our new church the weekend of the 10th. We have to be out of the building by Sept. 1, therefore we'll be homeless next weekend. We'll be having service in the park (hopefully it won't rain). It's an exciting time for our church.

It's a quiet evening for us; just sitting around watching a show that Jim has recently started watching. It's not a new show, it's a show that has been on the WB for 10years: Seventh Heaven. We never watched it because it was on the WB (a station we don't get) but it's really not a bad show. Right now we are watching an episode from Feb. 2003. Whatever you are watching this evening, I hope it's enjoyable.
