We had a most lovely day today. It was a perfect autumn day....clear but not cold, no wind to speak of, sunshine and perfect driving conditions to be out of town. Our friend preached very well this morning at the church we attended, another old friend who now lives south of the border was there visiting unexpectedly, we had a most wonderful afternoon over a bbq'd meal with dear friends and we got away from their place just in time to make it to have dinner with friends back here in our fair city this evening. Gone for the whole day; a wonderful church service, surrounded by loving friends for the whole day; perfect weather for the whole day....it doesn't get much better than that for us. It was a day to be grateful for, fer shur!!
Early this morning my husband went over to the gasoline station near us and purchased 3 large bags of ice to put into our failing refrigerator to protect specifically the milk, eggs and mayonnaise. After we had been out of town for 9 hours we stopped back in quickly before going out for dinner to check on the condition of the ice blocks. Although the leaking freon gas has caused the freezer compartment to fail completely, the fan in the fridge is still running and recycling whatever freon is left in the system, so the ice blocks have not melted much yet and should last us until whatever time tomorrow the maintenance people arrive with some kind of replacement fridge. In the meantime the camping freezer is doing its job well, so it appears all our meat has been saved! Thank you Jesus, for that little freezer!
My dear walking partner has come down with a bad cold, so we have cancelled our meeting together in the morning and perhaps if it happens that we have people moving refrigerators in and out of the kitchen it is just as well. Please send up a quick prayer for my walking partner. Thanks! She is always cheery even when she doesn't feel well, but her description of her cold makes me suspect she actually feels rather rotten.
Tomorrow after my husband's regular online meeting with some of his retired cronies we are going to have to get in touch with our tv service provider and change a few of our tv packages. Changes are occurring to the line up tomorrow and if we don't make the changes we will lose two of the channels we watch the most. We are hoping that in the process of making the changes to the available packages we will be able to drop a few channels that we never watch and save ourselves a few dollars. I feel badly for the tv providers because streaming is taking over and that leaves the cable providers scrambling. If streaming services were more reliable we would probably follow along with what is currently happening in new tv technology, but for now we will do our best to pick up a few shows we actually like through the tv packages.
It is going to take me a little while to fall asleep tonight as I am still rather jazzed over our wonderful day of friendship and worship and special meals, but I hope to sleep well when I eventually reach that blessed state of unconsciousness!
