Good Clean Fun

(Somehow, Blogspot lost the last half of my last post. Disappeared in cyberspace, I guess. I had written about the extensive trip plans that we have...and how my daughter had researched every lodging that she booked for us to see if there were any reports of bed bugs! I never would have thought of that...)

Tonight, my Sunday School class had a "social" at church--a fish fry and pitch-in--just the Rewired class. There were probably 20 of us. We ate well, then drifted into a big circle and started sharing conversations with the whole group instead of just our own tables. Most of us are retired folks. The group consists of a lawyer, several retired teachers, the church secretary and her husband...etc. (My grandchildren's other grandparents are also part of the group.) I don't think many of the folks are friends outside of church, but we have a social get-together once a month, and we really enjoy the fellowship. All we did was talk and laugh at silly little stories, and it was good, clean fun! Our conversations covered the waterfront, from how things have changed in the last 100 years, to teacher war stories, relationships, and funky little red-tape things that we all have to go through. Many of the stories we shared wouldn't have been amusing were it not for the way in which they were told. I enjoyed it!

It reminded me of times when I was a married lady and we visited with my then-sister-in-law and family at holidays and other select times. Somehow, the topics of conversation were always inane and silly, but we all laughed and had a good time. No one whined or complained or criticized. It was just fun. We need more of that in life!

I will head up to Gary, IN, tomorrow afternoon to collect my grandchildren for our trip to California and back. I wish I were leaving the house in better shape, but that's the way it goes. Please pray for us!!
