Sunday

The weather has calmed down and yesterday, Saturday, was a fine day which turned into a lovely, summer evening.   I went out to dinner with Bruce and Rosalyn which was very enjoyable.   We went to the Mexican restaurant in Tecumseh, which I like best of all the Mexican restaurants locally.  I know I will always get something I like there without nervously wondering if it is going to be spicy.

Afterwards we went for dessert to a frozen yoghourt bar.  Although Pink Swirls has closed there is still one left, Cherry Berry.

 One starts off with a pot and selects the yoghourt, then the toppings in the first picture.  And beside the checkout there is another counter with lots of dishes of chopped fresh fruits.   It was all very nice, and a lovely evening after the traumas of the tornadoes.

This morning was the first day of the summer schedule at Emmanuel, with just one service at 9.30 which today was from Cranmer's Prayer Book of 1662, which all Anglican churches here and in England use at 8.30 - this gives the organist and choir  at Emmanuel a little holiday on alternate weeks.  Next Sunday follows the usual 10.30 Service, which I think here in the Episcopal Church follows a 1979 Prayer book. In England, in our main services, we have the Book of Common Worship which was launched in 2000.

My only other outing was to pick up a lunch from the Golden Corrall buffet.    I have spent quite a bit of the day on the computer which I decided to take to Staples for a tune up.  The tune up is free if there is nothing wrong with it, but I expect they will find something.   I have been going through files, documents and photos deleting a lot, it is surprising how much unnecessary stuff piles up. 

I was going to take the computer tomorrow, but I haven't finished, it might be more like the middle of the week.   It is a bit of a departure for me, unplugging everything and carrying it to the store instead of a house call from the computer place down the road. I certainly needed house calls when desk top pc's were big and heavy, but this computer is very small and light, so I looked at the plugs at the back and thought I could probably draw a diagram of them, so I will know how to put them all back.    Wish me luck.
