Bible Study today. We have finished the Letters of Paul that we were studying and have decided that for a while at least we are going to study the readings for the next Sunday. It is a bit confusing at first but I believe we will become very familiar with the books of the bible this way AND we all have different translations which makes for some interesting insights.

I finally have all the clothes put away and have sorted through my mail. I have a few piles of stuff on the desk that I should be able to get through by the end of the week.

The third night of the trip, we went to Renfro Valley,apparantly condidered the bluegrass captital fo the world. At least a BIG bluegrass festival is held there every year. We went to the Barndance Show in the Renfro Vally Entertainment Center. This place has shops and restuarants and two ( at least ) theatres. We saw Jeff Watson (who does a mean Conway Twitty as well as his own sound), Glenn Thompson (a guitarist who owns a shop nearby), Pete Stamper (a humorist),Susan Tomes Laws (a truly lovely female singer), Pam Perry (another woman) and Wayne Combs (who actually ran into us as we stopped the bus at a Walmart to get cold medicine for one of our fellow tourists.) He was coming out of Walmart with his kids in a cart and saw the bus. So good PR man that he is, he came up to the bus and told Patty that they should bring the tour to the show in Renfro Valley where he played and sang. Patty almost had a bird as she kind of shooed him out of the bus, whispering to him that this was a mystery tour and that we would indeed be seeing him there. He mentioned the encounter at the start of the show. Talk about weird.

They sure kept us busy every day. We left the hotels at 8 to 8:30 and did not get back until 9 to 10:30 depending on the night. I slept like the dead. It is easy when one is that tired.

More questions that need answers

5. Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
6. Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't
point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?
7. Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are
going to look up there anyway?
8. Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're
both dogs


My cold is moving along as usual. Dick has one now too.


Later
