More Rain On The Way

We are off to a cloudy start to Saturday, and the temperatures are pretty nice for mid October. Right now we are stuck at 46 degrees, where we have been for several hours. Later today we will be up around 65...Not bad, huh? Rain will be coming later this afternoon into the evening, and then tomorrow there should only be a shower or two in the general area, so most of the weekend should be dry. We will be a little cooler tomorrow, topping off in the upper 50s rather than 60s, but that is a lot better than last weekend's 40 degree highs with wind. Early next week will bring dry weather for Monday and Tuesday, with afternoon high temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, and lows in the 30s. The rain will then return next Wednesday with showers for Thursday and Friday. It will be on the cool side, not cold, through the end of next week.

Kay returned safely from Seaside, Oregon last evening. Her physical health is excellent, but her sanity may have taken a hit. Too many days were spent around too many pre-school and early elementary school teachers who talk to everyone as if they are 3 and a half years old and in the finishing stages of toilet training. Today we are looking forward to another of our church's regular Saturday pot luck lunches. The days on these events are numbered though, as the Laborers For Christ are gradually trickling out and going home since the project is drawing closer to completion. There is still a long way to go in finishing the interior of the building, but nearly all of that work will be done by subcontractors, so the amount that needs to be done by the Laborers is diminishing. Jim and Carol, and Alec and Lois will be departing early next week, probably Monday. It is hard to say good-bye as these folks have become a big part of our church family at St. John's over the past several months. The pot luck lunches are part of the regular routine of the Labors For Christ because it gets the congregation to interact with them at least once a week. That interaction has never been a problem for St. John's but the food sure has been good. Of course, being that this is Saturday there will be lots of football to watch on TV, and I will very likely get to see some of it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch the Wisconsin Badgers take on the Iowa Hawg-eyes. There is just too much to do this morning to fit that game into the schedule.
