The Wheels On The Bus ...
Yesterday was interesting. I went on a field trip with Ashley’s class to the Thoroughbred Center in Lexington. We saw a play entitled Stone Soup and Dragon Dumplings. It was a cute play and all of the kids enjoyed it. The interesting part for me was riding on a school bus after all these years. I had wanted to sit in the front, but instead got placed in the very back seat. It was bumpy, but we made it.
After the play we came back to Winchester to College Park and had lunch. The kids played on the playground for a few hours. The only bad thing was the heat. I can actually see red between the hairs on my head where I got too much sun. It never occurred to me that I might need sunscreen. By the time we got back to the school everyone was sweaty, red, and dying for a drink. Knowing that I had a banquet to attend later that night, when I got home I started over from scratch. I took my make-up off, shaved my legs, showered, and redid everything.
Since this Sunday is Mother’s Day, our church had a mother/daughter banquet. My mom, Ashley and I all went. The church looked beautiful! When we walked in, the sanctuary had been transformed to look like the front yard of a house. The theme was “Lighting My Path” which is based on Thomas Kincade and his paintings. For those of you who don’t know, he is known as “The Painter of Light” and his paintings are truly beautiful. We had a nice dinner and some great conversation with the other people at our table. I took some pictures with my regular camera. When I get the film back and if the pictures turn out, maybe I will get Kevin to scan them in the computer so that I can post them on here.

It sounds lovely but you eat in church?

There's a first time for everything including eating in church! Ha! Ha!
They had tables set up that were beautifully decorated and the lights were down low with candles burning. It was a very elegant atmosphere.

In England you have Church Halls.

In the States, many of our churches are in hat are called multipurpose buildings; it's not unusual in some buildings to find basketball hoops at each side of the sanctuary (our church is one of them). I miss a traditional sanctuary with beautiful stained glass, but in the end, it is the people who are the church and not the building.

Oh, would I love to be able to edit the horrendous grammar and typos in the previous comment! :P
