Time disappears

Hello, I worked four days last week and that filles up my week very fast. On the days when I am home, there is cooking, cleaning and volunteering. Leroy helps with all those tasks or at least I boss him around. There is not a lot of time for sitting around and contemplating the world. Last night we had tickets to the symphony at a manor house near our home. It was rainy much of the day. In the cloudy day we watered plants at home and at the church because it was just a little rain. We dutifully trotted off up hill carrying lawn chairs to this musical event that is more than half a mile from our house. After feeling a bit of moisture on our faces we were ready to cross the street when a car pulled up, the driver put down his window, asked “Are you going to Brucemore for the concert?” At our positive response, he informed us, “It has been cancelled.” We turned around, but did not notice many people heading away from the venue. We called a friend who had gone there early because they eat there, “It is still happening, we are still here.” Once again, we turned and headed up the hill. After two more blocks we did see some people coming our direction. Another car stopped at the intersection to tell us that it had been cancelled. Another turn around, we were on the way home when our friend called to tell us the news, plus another person had seen us walking and called to tell us it was cancelled. It is supposed to happen tonight, but we have seen that there are to be thunderstorms tonight. Hopefully we will know something before we head up the hill. Paula
