Between the Raindrops

A hole in one at the 18th

This week the Lord watered our thirsty land. The trees and the streams and the fish and the birds gave thanks.

The organizers of events at SPPC might feel a little differently. We've been lulled by the hot, dry weather and make our arrangements with no thought to wet weather. But, we were fortunate. Both the mini-golf and the rose garden events were staged between the raindrops.

On Wednesday, 15 people gathered at the Island View Mini-Golf course for two hours of missed shots, made shots, much hilarity and Olympic sized cheers. 

 We didn't have anyone to vet these score cards so declaring a winner is suspect. Still, Bill had the lowest score. Three players claimed a hole-in-one, Pam, Bill and David. Congratulations!

We had just finished playing, when the rain started up. Interestingly, by the time we met at the Waddling Dog for lunch, our numbers had grown to 28. Do the math and you'll find 13 people did not "earn" their lunch, but they had a good time anyway.

On Thursday, after a very wet night, Friendship Coffee met at the rose garden in Sidney. A friendly crowd braved the damp grass and the lowering clouds to enjoy a visit and share a treat. The next gathering will be Sept. 12.

Anything for a cuppa!

By Friday the rain had settled in for a long stay. Again the parched land rejoiced. Thanks be to God.

FYI: Larry's quartet will play a concert at SPPC, August 31 at 6:00 pm.
