A Fun Day

Yesterday, I walked to church on a sunny, warm summer’s day.  Once seated, I noticed an elderly couple enter the church.  The older man slowly advanced using his walker.  He was stooped over with osteoporosis perhaps.  Next to the front bench, where wheelchair accommodation is provided, he expertly folded his walker, genuflected towards the altar, and seated himself. I was impressed by his independence.  I noticed the male pianist was a very good player and I enjoyed the songs that day. He was a sturdily built man nicely dressed in a dark suit. There was also a cello player who accompanied him on some of the songs.  At the end of the mass, the talented pianist moved to the organ to play the final song.  There was a cute moment during Holy Communion when a toddler boy advanced to the altar with his family.  He had his arms crossed and received a blessing from the priest as he was not yet old enough to receive the sacrament. 

After mass, I met my friend S in front of the church.  She made me jaywalk across a very busy main road.  It was empty at the time we crossed.  But this is the difference between S and  me, I would never normally do that.  We went for coffee and a chat.

That same afternoon husband M, daughter L, son K and I walked to Main Street to see their first exotic car show.  It was a total delight, with every fancy car you could think of lining the closed off street: Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Bentley, Mustang, Audi, Mercedes. There was even an antique Rolls Royce.  We ran into a few friends while we were there.

It was a full day, especially in the exhausting heat.  Fortunately, it cooled down a bit later on.  Everyone had fun.

Here are some photos of the exotic car show:
