Such A Weekend!

Wow, such a weekend!  It was a massive blast from the past!

It started off with one of the guys whom discipled me, showing up with his wife in tow.  We headed out and had a great evening of dining, remembering and laughing!
It was their 42nd wedding anniversary!
I never actually knew the exact date of their wedding, since I was not invited to the wedding!  And there would have been no wedding if I had not of intervened!  How quickly people forget!  However, through the years they have remembered far better - LOL!  Their two children were my first two God-children!  And I sat with them through more tragedy than any of us want to remember ... life was a bit touch and go there for a few years ... for everyone!
There were more than a few comments as to their constantly missing Gaelic Girl, it is her house after-all!  But, hey they see her about as much of her as I do, though she was disappointed to hear she missed an anniversary party.  As did Swede, who said he was too busy to visit with anyone.  Don't ask me - people from hundreds of miles away pop in and no one has time for them, except me.  Sigh, seems if they had called first it might have been a better attended event.
They left and went camping on their sailboat Saturday ...

Or, as I used to say, God had everyone there, He wanted there ...

Saturday morning, I got a call from Portland, from The Anarchist, he was on his way to Seattle to attend a fight.  The things some do for fun!  His attendance at the May Day WTO Riot a few years ago landed him in Federal room, board and loathing for a spell ...  But, it was late at night before he called again and asked to be taken to dinner ... how different from the previous night's guests.  It was a good visit, him talking non-stop, me thinking of things to post about this week.  But, he did like my cooking, so that was a bit of a perk - if anyone talks to me it is extremely rare to score a compliment.

Then on Sunday, it was one of my old bicycling partners from over 20 years ago!  We put a great many miles down together.  Of course she is an absolute hoot!  Just her way of talking and droll sense of humor.  I was laughing all the way to bed time.

So, not a lonely weekend in the least, plus I had finished the bridge - which was a great relief, and I was so sore!  I still can not lift my arms over my head!

Well time for another pain pill ...


I finished my bridge project and covered it with plastic sheeting, just hours before the rains hit!

Now to work on the yard this week ...
