Fall officially made its arrival yesterday morning at 8:43, as I was sound asleep. While the first day of autumn turned out sunny and warm (shades of 2019), change is on the way this week. Much needed rain is making its arrival as will be severe weather. Here’s my first day of Fall.
I got home from work and slept as I usually do, waking up around 1:30 and catching part of the Steeler game. Nice win by the Black and Gold in their home opener. As I usually do on Sundays, I spend an hour or so going to Cutie’s and having coffee. Loving that Fall menu! Yesterday, I ordered a Banana Bread Chai and it was good. I saw two people sharing a Gilmore Girls flight (I want one so bad!). Future drink choice for me will include something Maple (Maple Cinnamon Roll and Maple Cutie sound perfect) as well as the Cherry 🍒 Pie Chai. The latter is part of the flight that I mentioned. While I was at Cutie’s, I did some reading while enjoying my coffee. Later, I looked over my photo book on our former President Barack Obama.
This weekend, my sister and niece were pet-sitting. They watched the little boxer puppy, Chance. We got to see him a few times this weekend. My folks aren’t pet people but they don’t mind other people’s pets. My niece loves dogs and enjoyed every minute that she had with Chance this weekend. She’ll be disappointed to part ways with him.
Last night, on the final evening of Summer, I went to church for the first time in a year and a half. I felt inclined to go because I was ready to and want to get in a regular routine. I’ll probably attend on Saturday night since I usually sleep in the morning on Sunday. I would have loved to attend the outdoor service at the festival this past weekend. I talked with my president after our meeting and shared my story (why I left the church after almost 20 years of attendance). I decided on Community Methodist in Harrison City. I’d been there before so I was no stranger to the church. The other option was Harrold Zion which also has a Saturday night service.
The serpvice was held in the cafe. Usually coffee is available but due to the weekend festival, the cafe was closed. I’ll go next week as well, not to enjoy coffee but also to get back into the Holy Spirit and show this wasn’t a one week thing. It did felt good to be there Saturday night but it’s still going to take some time.
I’ve been attending the Bible studies at Cutie’s and enjoying myself there. I even applied some of the message to my speech last week at my meeting. I have stuff to do to get ready for tomorrow, like maybe putting a speech together to give at the Johnstown meeting. Still, I’m hoping to get out there tonight. I’ll also be meeting Mr. Clougherty this week and showing him the Eat’n Park book.
Coincidentally, we will be having dinner at Eat’n Park.
I’m looking forward to this busy week and this upcoming season with everything going on. Next week, look for my preview of October as cooler weather hopefully makes its arrival and we start to see the leaves change. The tour continues and I have some fun things planned.
