We will feast in the house of Zion

by chuckofish

How was your weekend? Ours was quiet and we stayed close to home. The OM and I did venture out to the annual Greentree Parade which was on Saturday. We hiked over to Kirkwood Road to watch from our usual spot.

There were the usual Boy Scouts and the KHS marching band…

… and various veterans…

…as well as some floats…

But on the whole it was rather lackluster. All the kids seemed to care about was scrambling for candy. There were no churches represented and the businesses were mostly random dentists and the like. Well, whatever.

In other news, our neighbors across the street moved out. After seven years of them driving me crazy with their RV and their trampoline and their terrible lawn, I am kind of sad and I know I will miss them. They were really very nice people and I already miss their high school son coming and going in his little white car. God only knows who will move in.

Also I haven’t seen my foxy friend in over a week. For awhile I would see him every day walking across my yard or chillin’ on my driveway.

I hope he is okay.

Well, everything kind of makes me sad these days and I think that is because of the general sorry state of the world and the end of it as we knew it. Maybe I am just getting old and turning into one of those old ladies who likes to talk about the olden days. Change is hard.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:16

I’ll hang in there if you do. Because, as you know, we are bidden to rejoice and always to rejoice.
