I am so on vacation! Woohoo. I finished up the bulletin for this Sunday. And tomorrow I'm headed up to the Russian River for the weekend with some friends. Then Monday I'm off to Tennessee for time with my friends Tracy and Dave and their sons, Noah and Wesley. I'm really excited. Last year we went to Rock City. You may have seen its advertisements on the side of barns, "Come See Rock City." Well I saw Rock City last year so I don't expect we'll be seeing it again. But who knows what we'll do. Perhaps nothing, perhaps we'll just sit around and play with the two delightful kids. I know for one thing it will be hot! I don't know how I'll handle it. I know, I know I grew up in Florida and lived in Atlanta. But I have been in San Francisco for 4 years and my body is no longer use to such heat.
I visited my 102 year old parisioner today. She didn't really know who I was but that is okay, I got to see her son as well, so I get credit for the visit. Honestly I know this is terrible but when i just see her I feel a little like it has been a wasted visit because she won't remember me being there. Now I know it is not really wasted because it does her good to have a visitor. I think she really does appreciate me being there when I'm there. It is kind of crazy though. Her son is her primary caregiver. He lives up stairs with his wife Helen. Denny and Helen celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. And he is his mother's primary caregiver. And his wife's primary caregiver--she suffers from severe dementia. She definately never knows who I am. I've met her many times and every time she introduces herself to me and tells me about her priest who apparently is the epitome of the priesthood, the perfect priest. So the conversations with the two of them, Ida and Helen, is always a hoot.
Alright, well that is all the time I have to blog for today. I'm going to see Margaret Cho tonight. It was a completely last minute thing. My friend Karen has an extra ticket. Yay. I don't know when I'll blog again. This weekend I'll be away from the computer. Although I might take the computer with me and blog whiile I'm away if there is internet access. That way it will be like we are on a little field trip together. Otherwise it will probably be sometime next week before I blog again. Just keep checking back.
Happy Trails.
