TRYING TO CATCH UP.........

(. This was written last Tuesday but went into SAVE instead of POST. My bad. Tonight was pretty amazing. Tell you about it tomorrow.  I'll put up the post for tonight tomorrow. Got all that? )


 I know I've been slack the past couple of weeks about posting.
No excuses.
No apologies, either.

Two tuesdays ago a youth group from Gastonia was in town and came down to help us. They did a good job. We had spaghetti.

This past week Kelly Leger brought her Youth Group from Wrightsville Beach Methodist to help us. Kelly and her family were members of our church befors she accepted the position at Wrightsville Beach last year. Her husband Steve and son Blake still come and help every week. They planned the menu and we had Sloppy Joes, which is always a big hit with out crowd. Johnny Liverman also brought down some baked chicken and barbecue. We took that and made sandwiches for them to take for their lunch the next day.
I like it when we have something they can put in their hands as they leave.

This was our last week before all the colleges started up and over the last couple of weeks we've had to say "adios"* to all the graduated seniors heading off to college and our college kids going back. It was kind of sad but exciting , too, because I can picture some of them taking initiative and doing something like this where they go to school. I tried to put the seed in their mind and even offered to come up and do it with them one night. Who knows?

SLOPPY JOES      POTATO CHIPS     WATERMELON     DESSERTS     SWEET TEA/WATER
and BAKED CHICKEN/BARBECUE SANDWICHES for lunch the next day.

Danielle Bongiorno has been a regular for a couple of years now, whenever basketball wasn't in season. This was her last week before she headed off to Lenoir-Rhyne to attend school and play basketball. She brought her sisters Jessica and Mac to show them where she goes and what she does on Tuesday Nights. And what she does as well as anybody is smile and interact. all of our friends like it when she sits down and spends time with them. W
We're going to miss her.
