M.L. and I left for Salina yesterday and got 20 miles out of town only to have our air conditioner give out. Needless to say, it was a hot drive. We did stop at Hays to see Marcellee at the hospital and thankfully the air conditioning worked there. Whew! We then stopped and got a strawberry milkshake and a cold drink and endured the rest of the trip to Salina. And guess what? The humidy hasn't left. It's still here from when we left 7 years ago.
Now you have to understand that I don't like hot and muggy. And to drive 3 1/2 hours without a/c is not my idea of a leisure Sunday afternoon drive. I started to gripe to M.L. and then realized, "what good will complaining do?" So we rolled down the windows and made the best of it. After all, there are a lot worse problems out there than me being without a/c.
Changing the subject, I officiated at a funeral service for the wife, mother, and grandmother of some good friends of ours in Salina. The service went very well and it was good to catch up with many of our friends in the Salina area - especially the Payne family. Condolences to them. Also, our prayers are with the Fruechting family. Gloria passed away and her funeral was today as well. M.L. and I were supposed to sing help with the music at her funeral but were obligated to the service in Salina. (Too many friends losing them moms lately). Praise God for the hope of the resurrection.
We went and saw the house Todd and Melissa are buying - very nice. We will help them move next week. They are really looking forward to it and we are very happy for them.
While we are here in Salina we feel it our "duty" to spend some time with our little grandson Owen. After all, someone has to do it and it might as well be us. He's doing great. Eating well, sleeping well, and keeping his grammy and gramps happy.
I met a man who lives next door to where Todd and Melissa are moving. I introduced myself and he said, "Oh yeah, I remember you from all the football games at Salina Central". I wonder what he meant by that??
