Visiting

Hello,



Leroy and I have spent a lot of time visiting in the last couple of days. Course, you know that makes it harder to think about leaving a place. We know that it can take quite a bit of time for us to become on a comfortable level with people. This will be true because we will not have a job when we move, so there will not be that additional place to meet people.



First our brother-in-law and his friend come for a morning visit. It was great to see them again. The afternoon was quieter, but then some church friends called to offer us fresh green beans from their garden and a piece pie shared in their new gazebo. It was a relaxing wonderful time.



Sunday was church which also supplies a lot of visiting time. In the afternoon we called to offer some things to a friend who frequently cooks for the world or just many of the homeless/meal sites in town. She said, “Sure bring them over.”



When we got there someone else was visiting her. Someone I knew, but Leroy did not. As the visit lengthened, three more people showed up. We knew two of them, but not the third. Anyway it all got to be a rather lengthy stay. In the end Leroy volunteered to help the original person put up some curtains. He went over, well supplied with tools and “I might need it stuff”, to put that up this morning. Just yesterday he talked about looking for a volunteer job one day a week. Right now there is a bit more to do outside, but he is thinking ahead to winter time. I have heard of an organization where people go around and do “little” jobs for those who can’t do it for one reason or another. I suspect there are more volunteer possibilities that we have ever thought of. As of yet we have not looked. Those opportunities sometimes come to us.
