This morning I did another batch of
newsletters. Morning was the better choice compared to the hot afternoon. Besides
the temps being a bit lower there were some breezes. I do talk to random people
from time to time on these delivery forays. This morning I talked with a guy
walking his dog. First he told me that he would like to come to the meetings
but he works on Thursday when we hold the meetings. He told me that he likes
trout fishing and soon he will be able to do more of that as he is retiring
from both of his jobs. A woman yesterday also told me she would like to come to
the meetings, but works on Thursday nights. I do know there are many who do not
work on Thursday, but still do not manage to come. Habits of staying home are
hard to break.
I also spoke this morning with a
neighbor whose twin granddaughter’s are at risk in uterus. His daughter is now
in the hospital and they are trying to delay birth. It is good to get out in
the area and visit with people. I am often surprised at how much people talk
when they do not know me. Maybe having the newsletter in hand makes me a safe
person to talk with.
There is still a group of deliveries
to make. I had thought Leroy might help me, but I might do it alone as we want
to pick berries again tomorrow and I want to go shopping with help from Leroy to
try to pick out some curtains and rods. After church there is only so much time
and energy in the day. I could deliver the last of the newsletters Monday
morning before I go to work. That might even be the coolest choice.
