Thursday night I had to take a packed van with all our recruitment "stuff" and materials down to the downtown area of Kent. I got there around 6 pm and strategically parked so I was there before they started to close down the streets for the fair. Then I walked over to Kent Station near by (remember Christmas and Santa Claus with Riley?). I went into the RAM (a restaurant) at Kent Station and had a salad and lots of ice tea for dinner. I had been given a project from the Dean of Student Services at my college to read over and I sat there reading for a good hour. I remember when I was younger that I couldn't do that... go into a restaurant and eat alone. Well, I have long got past that feeling. I remembered a scene in a movie called "Hope Floats" when Sandra Bullock has gone in to eat at a diner in her hometown. The man that is interested in her, both from the past and in the present played by Harry Connick Jr., tells her that there is an "art to eating alone; that one has to act like they want to be alone" and to "make him proud" as he leaves the diner. I would make Harry very proud.
Phillip came to help me set up the canopy at 9 pm and unpack the van. We put the stuff in the canopy and put up the sides and then left. I had to take the van back to the college and get my own car. By the time I got home it was 11pm. I was still awake and not tired because of all the ice tea I drank at the RAM. So, I finished reading my "project" so I could pass it back to the dean on Friday.
I spoke to Susie today in North Carolina for a long time. She is trying to find a way to finance her Christian bookstore and coffee shop. There are some exciting things that she has aready discovered and it is fun to see how this is progressing.
This evening we had Amy and her two children, Maddy and Harrison (she is listed on my bloggettes) and Dave's mom come over for a BBQ. I picked up Riley from school too because he would be able to play with them. He is just their age. That worked out well because Riley likes hosting and sharing his toys. He truly enjoyed having them here.
Hope you have a great weekend!

I hope the weekend fair went well. It sounds like you had plenty to keep you busy with all the setting up and everything. When does the fair end?
I'm so sorry I've not been blogging much, but I've just updated if you'd like to take a peek.
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead, and thank you so much for your words of encouragement and for your prayers. They are so much appreciated.
