Memorial day at the mercy house

We had a really good time going to Anderson today and helping our son's church (actually the summer interns) with a community cookout at their building (and his home for the summer). I cooked - if you can believe that! I did all the hot dogs. Here are some pics from my phone.

The top pic is the lovely lady Jane looking surprised, with Caleb's dad (Mark) behind her, and Graham's dad and mom (Lewis and Joan) behind him. At right you see son Isaac (in gray shirt w/hand on hip), and daughter Carrie (in white muscle shirt).

I think I counted a little over 100 people. The weather was great. I got to meet Isaac's pastor. He seemed like a great guy; A real people-person (unlike me), and just super nice. The living arrangements looked much better than last time I was here. Seems like things are going well. Not that there won't be problems with communal-type living, but... I dunno... pretty cool, I think.

All in all it was a good day - topped off by the fine travelling music Carrie provided. I need to get me some Kings of Leon, and the Lions, and Wilco (I can't remember the rest, but there is so much good music out there that I've not heard. Where have I been?).
