We had to get to church and I made us late. Laura decided she needed to draw. She did not want to put on her shoes.
Black Hawk is a mega. It’s also a buffet. You can pick your worship style, get live performers, and a pastor on video screen. The sermon was the reenactment of the sedder supper (with Jesus’ personal touches). Sara was enchanted with her devotional eggs that we have to do this week.
Lunch was Unos pizza for ol times sake. Kids wriggly.
The Farm. 88 acres. One cat. Many, many vegetables. Gayle and Roger are living the country life. They have their dream house, almost totally run by solar power. They run a CSA. Gayle can walk to Land’s End to work. For fun, they haul gallons of maple sap for days at a time to make maple syrup.
The kids were fascinated with birds woodpecker, bluebirds, cardinals, golden finches. Tractor rides took the first hour. We went for a walk thru the woods. We saw the new outhouse or camping.
Dinner was homemade bread with wildberry jam from their property.
Drive home was punctuated with some quiet conversation with Heidi and a lively sunset.
