We met Jay, Jane, Al and Lucy, Jeff and Art and Pat at Mac’s.  We all had a great breakfast and enjoyed reading some cute signs they had on the walls.  We got to the church at 9 and were supposed to be able to set up goodies and all of the lunch tables and chairs.  The homeschoolers were meeting there, so they told us we would have to wait until 11 which would have cut things pretty close.  God worked it out so we could set up half of the gym with goodies and some of the tables, right away and then after the kids used the other half of the gym, the people from the church helped us set up the rest of the table and chairs.  

There were lots of helpers setting up goodies with us so it went fast.  I helped fill registration bags, then Bill needed me to go with him to our hotel, so Jay finished my job of putting the right amount of bracelets in the bag.   We went to take to our hotel manager about getting a block of rooms next year for less.  Bill has to call her back in a week.  Jane called me to see if we wanted to meet them at Culver’s.  It was right across the street so we headed over there.  We waited in the parking lot because they had farther to travel.  Pretty soon, we saw them inside waving in the window to us.  Jane messaged me that they had parked in the back and were inside.  We had good food and ice cream.  Bev and Jim came and ate when we were just about done.  We stayed and visited with them.  We all headed back to the church after that to finish getting everything ready tor Seasons.  Wes, Gayla, Ron and Barb were there.  I had been messaging them to find out when they would be there.  We sat and talked to them for a while.  In the evening, Bill introduced everyone when it was their turn to share.  He had organized the program for the weekend and did a great job.  Worship was amazing and Jay’s message was really good.  After the service, we all went into the gym and had G’s pizza and pop.  Bill only ate my crust as he doesn’t eat cheese.  I had some pretty big crust at the top, so he got plenty.  He didn’t want to order a no cheese pizza, because he wasn’t that hungry and everyone had brought lots of snacks for the snack table.  We went back to our hotel after that.  I didn’t sleep very well, but at least could lay there and rest.
