Who Knows What?

Okay, okay I'm really still alive, but don't ask me why! Since last posting I have been on the class trip to PA and Washington DC where I slept on a cot that was 4 inches off the floor and monitored a bunch of wonderful guys and girls day and night for four days and four nights, shovelled out my house to accommodate 7 girls from Indianapolis or vicinity and hostessed them for a week, shopped for, made cakes for, and planned for 2 family birthday celebrations, and muddled my way through planning, shopping for, baking for and ordering for a reception for who knows how many umpteen people. That was half the problem--I had no idea how many people were going to show up to consume the food we provided! I'm tired, my body aches and a few other things, but I'm glad it all went well. God really did help me and I had neither a stroke nor a heart attack and I can still get up in the morning and smile. I just feel kind of old! Sorry to sound so negative. There were loads of positives along the way and even some humor. Here's an example:

On our trip with the Bible School, Professor M, as often is the case, drove the follow up van behind ours. He's an excellent follower and never lets a light of any color separate him from the lead van. This time, we took it upon ourselves to pay a number of his tolls since we had class trip cash and he did not, but when we got on the NJ pike we quit doing that as he had a card that he had to stop and turn in at the toll both anyway. The next toll was the GW bridge. Guess Prof. M thought we'd gone back to paying his tolls because he pulled up to the toll both, and rolled on through with a wave and a "Bye, bye" to the astonished attendant! I laughed and laughed and laughed! At the NYState Thruway booth we tried to rectify the error but they told us it was a NYCity system and we couldn't pay it there. In case you're worried, Prof M has been on-line seeking his own methods of restitution. . .!
