Deadwood

Nick Williams brought a gift with him to the Good News Club. It was a beautiful portable CD player - from our friends in America. I love lively children's music, but cannot sing properly any more (damaged vocal cords). Now I can drown out my "croaking" with proper tuneful music.
We visited the folk from my ladies Bible study in Deadwood today. Ethel belongs to the Salvation Army. She is such a dear friend - I forget that she is 71 years old. Her husband, Harold, keeps a mean vegetable garden. Here he is harvesting his crop of potatoes. (Of course, we went home with a packet of the treasures) Here is a photo of the inside of his garden shed, with his little drum with an old sack on it, that he sits on when he takes his tea break, and Ethel's drum (nicely covered in floral fabric and a soft cushion) in the background...

We also visited Winnie and her sister, Rosie. It is always good to see people in their home setting.

When we arrived home, we found that Arthur had already left to visit with some young adults, BUT he had taken the front door key with him. Luckily Graeme and I knew how to get into the schoolroom without a key, so we sat there waiting for 5 hours.... An experience that tests ones sanctification. We are all a little more careful about carrying keys etc with us now.
