It's vacation bible school time at First Methodist this week. The Bible Bowl is the theme and the final competition between the children and youth is Thursday evening. Tammy Judkins is the compentent and energetic director with alot of volunteer staff workers. The sharing time will be Sunday morning during the worship service.
Yours truly is still in the process of moving. Whether it's 100 miles from house to house or across the field, moving is still a major event. But I've come full circle from when I lived with my parents while teaching first grade here. I'm back in the same house but with different  furniture and a different bedroom. Moving is still hectic!
I had a busy day last Saturday. The Democratic party hosted a brunch at the Senior Citizen Center in the new county complex. The state representative candidates, Sarah Marie Smith and Wesley Hodges spoke along with the local candidates. Food was great as well as the music. Six young people received scholarships.
Then I did something that afternoon I've never done before. I attended a wedding at NHC Healthcare. No, it was not any of the patients. It was a good teacher friend of mine. Kim Brown and Jim Martin were married in a lovely, elegant ceremony. The place was chosen so Jim's mother, who is at at NHC, could attend. Kim and Jim were appreciative of the NHC's hospitality there.
Carolyn and Jerry Williams attended the International Folk Festival in the  Manchester Comunity Theater last week. Emily Williams, their daughter, sang in the Acapella Choir opening with the National Anthem. The Rigney family played for the cloggers from Manchester.
Get-well wishes to Ruth Hill Gothard, Nell Driver, Eddie Sutton, Ruth Dobbs at St. Thomas Hospital and Ruth Redmon. Also sympathy again to the family of Phyllis Redmon Bennett.

I agree with Bob on the naps. It's a good habit after lunch and I enjoy it, too.
