Went downtown by 6 a.m. What a beautiful day for Derby Day! The sun was shining but the air was dry and breezy. A perfect day weather wise.
I helped guide people to their parking spots and then we had the rest of the day pretty much free.
Tommy showed up around nine and it was so strange -- he said that our old classmate, Larry, was pastor of the Congregational church. How weird is that? I didn't believe him so we went over and sure enough, Larry's name is up on the board as pastor. So Tommy asked people if he was there but he wasn't. We definitely decided that it's OUR Larry. He also has a band that will be doing one of the concerts on the Green and you better believe I'll be there. LOL!!
Chontelle was there selling stuff for the Young Marines so I spent a lot of time with her. Walked around a long time with Cyndi. Gary and Fran were doing stuff for Center Stage and Margaret came down and we went and watch Dan talk at the Opera House. I really like Dan. Anna's daughter was there selling her beaded stuff and Lisa's son and daughter-in-law were there selling their stuff. Diana and James and the girls (not Sam), Michael and his girlfriend, Anthony and Diana's dad were all there for a while. Rita was there. It was a family day for me.
Anthony stopped over to get a box of his stuff and played a little with Rufioh.
The weirdest thing was going to the Elks to use the bathroom and Jerry hugging me and telling me we're friends and he wants a one-on-one and me telling him that my decision doesn't mean I am upset with anyone at the lodge personally just the way things are in general.
An interest and fun and tiring day in all!
