Altered Plans

The plan had been to drop off the car for repair then walk the three miles to St John’s to meet friends Stan and Mary and to go to lunch. Initially the rain made us rethink part of that plan. Then we waited until the mechanics decided they couldn’t repair the Trailblazer today, we’ll have to bring it back Thursday and leave it overnight so they will be able to start it from very cold to hear the fan chatter. Then we drove to St John’s, met Stan and found out that we were volunteering to unpack four dozen new folding chairs in the Fellowship Hall. Guess the ensuing exercise substituted for the long walk we never got to take. The rain lasted all day. But we did have a delightful lunch at City Bakery in downtown Waynesville.
