Yes, it does rain in Oregon. And this spring it has rained too much. Even die-hard webfoots are crying, “enough already!” In February or March the prognosticators were saying the snow pack and rain fall were well below normal and it would be a dry summer. Now they are saying the opposite. I know I’ve had enough and it is dryer in Grants Pass than up in the valley.
I’m thankful for a more laid-back week. On Monday I went down to Boatnik. That’s an annual Memorial Weekend celebration in Riverside Park. Joyce stayed home because she was recovering from a cold. I watched the hydroplane races on the river, and the enjoyed the Memorial Day festivities. The food was good, too.
One of my projects was entering all my sermon file information into the computer. It was in an old program that was not compatible with all the new stuff so I couldn’t update it with recent sermons info. I’ve not updated it in about 6 or 7 years. This is not the sermons themselves; it is a file listing the sermon title, date preached, Bible text, topic, and number. The number is simply an arbitrary number I’ve assigned it and the actual sermon is filed by that number. So, I finally decided the old program was history and reentered everything in Excel – all 920 of them. I finished it Saturday. Yea! Now I have to enter the “new” sermons that have not been cataloged. There is probably a 100-150 of them, more or less. I’ll do that this coming week.
Today we went to church at Jerome Prairie. This afternoon we had another Allen Creek Gang potluck. This time at the home of Richard and Janis on the bank of the Applegate River. Beautiful lawn. Tables and chairs all set up. Nice and warm but not hot. Now, back to that discussion about Oregon rain. It was predicted and looked like it would. We were prepared to make a run for the carport if necessary. But guess what? It didn’t. We had a great time – not as many as last time, but still good. Some of the gang…

This week will bring more changes. By next Sunday we’ll be in Lebanon. More about that later. Have a good week.
