Subject: Re: Easter Chat 04.21.19 by GRIS on 2019/4/21 23:42:50 HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN, JIGGIDY-JOG--- HAD A GLORIOUS HIGH-CHURCH EASTER SERVICE WITH BABY DAUGHTER AND FAMILY. PRELUDE BY HANDEL, PROCESSION, TRUMPETS, KETTLE-DRUMS, PIPE ORGAN, FLAGS, MITERED BISHOP BUT NO INCENSE THIS TIME. THEY EMBARRASSED THEMSELVES A WHILE BACK WHEN OVER ENTHUSIASTIC CENSING SET OFF THE SMOKE DETECTORS AND THE OKC FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO TAKE PART IN THE SERVICE. THEY’RE NOT SO BIG ON INCENSE ANY MORE :-) #7GRANDSON’S BAPTISM TOOK FOREVER. TUCKED ON TO THE END OF ANOTHER SERVICE SATURDAY NIGHT, THERE WERE ONLY TWO BAPTISMS BUT A HOST OF CONFORMATIONS, REAFFIRMATIONS, ETC. SEEMS THE BISHOP IS RETIRING FROM ACTIVE DUTY. HE IS WELL LIKED AND EVERYBODY THAT WAS PENDING ANYTHING WANTED HIM TO DO IT. HE IS AN EX-COP THEY SAY. HE HAS A GOOD COMMAND VOICE AND I COULD HEAR AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING HE HAD TO SAY, UNLIKE SEVERAL OF THE OTHER CELEBRANTS. BABY DAUGHTER PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS FOR EASTER DINNER. SHE SEEMS TO HAVE INHERITED THE COOKING GENE FROM MY MOTHER’S SIDE OF THE FAMILY, ALL THE GARRETT WOMEN WERE GREAT COOKS AND SHE IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THEM. DARLING WIFE’S HS REUNION WAS FUN FOR HER, I BUMMED AROUND THE FARM AND PLINKED A FEW TURTLES ON THE LAKE. WIND REALLY UP TODAY, BLOWING MY TRUCK ALL OVER THE ROAD ON THE WAY BACK. WE GOT WORD MY COUSIN DIED THIS MORNING. GOD BLESS HIM, IT WAS A LONG, SLOW WAY TO GO. |
