There were more people than usual at church this morning. I went early and opened up, turned on the a/c in the sanctuary and parlor and then went down to the fellowship hall and brought in the things I had brought for the potluck dinner. By that time, Sis had arrived and we did what we could – making tea, coffee, etc. Linda had been in yesterday or the day before and decorated the tables. She does a fantastic job, and used a flag theme, of course. The flag cake that Sis and I took was a great success. There were several other cakes too, but a lot of people wanted the flag cake because of the picture on it. It was a yellow cake with a fudge ripple through it and was very good.
It was a lot of fun and we all had a good time. Neither Sis nor I have to work tomorrow, but we don’t have anything special planned – just a day to relax. I think she does plan to go walk with another couple of ladies for a little while in the morning.
I wonder how many fireworks we will hear in the neighborhood tonight. It is illegal to set them off inside the city limits, but a lot of people do it anyway. They can be fined $2000 if caught, but it’s hard to catch them. At least the ground isn’t as dry as it has been some years.
Precious and Calvin don’t seem to notice the noise, but I have had dogs before that were frightened of fireworks – and I imagine it bothers their sensitive ears even more than it does mine.
Alex must be gone by now. We didn't get much effects of it here in San Antonio and people didn't have to evacuate en masse from the coastal areas. That is a blessing for all involved. There is a huge AA convention in town this week that is said to be the biggest convention ever held in this city, so all the hotels and motels were booked up ahead of time. It would have made it very difficult for evacuees to find rooms. San Antonio hosts many conventions year-round, so this one must be really large to be the biggest.
