No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Love hearing the organ!

Mom and I just came home from church and the supper afterward. It was a marvelous late afternoon and evening. Lynn took us to church but Jill came back to pick us up since Lynn had to stay for choir rehearsal. We could have stayed and waited for Lynn to be done but then we'd have missed seeing the reigning champ on Jeopardy! be bested by a female. Thanks for the lift, Jill!

Lenten worship was very nice, with the former principal, Kevin, playing the organ for the service. Linda sat with our family since Tommy wasn't there. The hymns were beautiful as well, and the organ such a welcome sound, particularly the offeratory which included the chimes on "Just as I Am", Mom's favorite.

It was great to talk to the church folks again and to get a warm hug from Pastor Schaefer, who was working in the kitchen, serving the food. Don't worry, he had his gloves on! I met the new pastor serving at the high school, and his wife and kids. They are making FG their church home. I saw their newborn being passed around, already at home!
Mom, Lynn, and I decided to not go for pedicures on this particularly cold day, not a good day for flip flop wearing. Instead we went to lunch at The Charcoal Grille where I had the wonderful rib eye steak sandwich---oh yum! From there we went over to Festival Foods where I stocked up on Diet Coke and got my delicious caramel corn. And my first hot cross buns of the season, as well. Frankly, the Publix ones are better, but these will do in a pinch!
