Hi Everybody!

I slept all afternoon because I had a vicious sinus headache. It has finally abated, so I am having a little midnight snack and FReep!

((((HUGS))))

Good evening, Luv...are you still visiting?

Did you guys do exciting stuff?

I’m not ready for Monday. Do you think it would hold off for a day?

29 posted on 10/20/2013 8:41:06 PM PDT by Kathy in Alaska ((~ RIP Brian...heaven's gain...the Coast Guard lost a good one.~))

What are you doing up this time of night, Luvvy?
No work tomorrow?
Like your moon-kissed owl, tonight. That’s cute...

Good evening, almost morning, ML...((HUGS))

A vicious sinus headache is not a good thing. Glad you were able to sleep it off. How’s Lynn-Dah...sleeping, too?

How was the Biker Chapel? Were you a trio?

The Biker Church lost its Venue in an unfortunate situation, so a local chapter of a Motorcycle Club generously allowed us to use THEIR OWN CLUBHOUSE facilities for our church service. A member of the club happened to have his harmonica with him, so even though the guitar player couldn’t make it today, we were still a trio. Hopefully next week we will be a QUARTET.

I am absolutely STUNNED by the generosity of the Biker Club, as they are not of the “goody two shoes” variety.

The service was terrific, and there were quite a few new folks in attendance. As soon as I got home and walked Lynn-Dah, I collapsed on the bed and she curled up beside me on the floor. She gets very protective when I am not well.

No more visiting...I only had a 3-day weekend. It sure was
nice to see the crew, though! We didn’t do too much exciting
stuff...went to a small dinner party on Saturday night and
just hung out and talked...and FReeped...the rest of the time.

I wish Monday would just go away. It’s always a nightmare! LOL!

Thanks, Jinxy! This is actually early for me! :)

I am tired though...from driving back from Ft. Worth today.

Sure had a good time catching up with FRiends, though. :)

I'm too pooped to post..
Good night, LUV and all

*God Bless Our Troops*

My goodness, you had quite the day.

God works in mysterious ways....not only did you find a venue for your Biker Church, you gained a musician. God seems to have plans for you.

Who would have thought a not “goody two shoes” biker on Saturday, would be making music in Church on Sunday.....His mysterious ways.

Good job, Lynn-Dah!

And, not only that, there is a METAL roof over the stage, which will not develop dangerous “bulges” in the rain! LOL!

I have been baptized, but my instruments don’t need to be.

That is a great picture. Does the banner say “Motorcycle Ministry”?
