Monday, September 28, 2009

It had rained Saturday night into Sunday morning. I walked Danny in the rain. I put his coat on so he didn’t seem to mind the rain but he did not do his business. That meant I’d have to walk him again in the rain. He got soaking wet in spite of his coat. His legs were soaked and so was his belly. He has short little legs and he seems to like to walk in the tall grass. I had to get ready for church so I hoped he’d be OK until I got back.

It stopped raining as I got to church. I sat in back of two people who sang in the choir. They invited me to join them. They practice right after church so I stayed and sang with them. I told them I didn’t know where I’d be from one week to the next but they said it’s OK. Everyone was very nice. So if I’m in Chesapeake City next Sunday, I’ll be singing in the Choir.

I unpacked some more of my things. I brought my glass Dutch oven so I could bake my winter squash. I wasn’t able to bake it because the oven did not have a dial but was all push button and I didn’t know how to work it. I wondered why it looked like it had never been used. I guess the lady who lived here before me didn’t know how to use it either. They did leave some booklets on the appliances so I have to hope the oven booklet is in there and study it to figure out how the thing works.

I ran to the Acme to get some milk for breakfast and a few other things I had on my list. There is no corner WaWa here. I have to drive to everything. Town is one mile which isn’t bad but there is not much in town. The town hall is there and a lot of little tourist shops. There is a Café for breakfast and lunch and a few expensive restaurants. There are a lot of Antique Shops and Art Galleries. The Post Office, Bank, and Library are located on the other side of town. I don’t think they are in the city limits. I think the city limits are both the little towns located on each side of the canal. I am on the south side and the north side has no stores at all that I can see. It is all residential with a Fire House and two churches; Presbyterian and Roman Catholic. The south side has three churches; Episcopal, Methodist, and AME. There is also a big Marina. The marina on the north side is closed. The restaurant that owned the marina has been out of business and the new owner has had problems getting open.

Danny is up so I have to take him out.

Hi Karol,

You just sound so much happier than I've heard you in awhile - and, how joyful that is. I am sure your new home and the area is going to be very good for you and Danny. Ruth
