Brilliant strategy.
Both Alison and I have these magical cell phones with cameras right in them. We had two professional photographers who work for the Blackshear Times (although here as guests, not on assignment). Did anybody take pictures at our house blessing and party on Friday?
As you can see from the plethora of pictures on this post - no, they did not.
You'll just have to take my word that it was a great event, and we are very grateful for Rev. Kit Brinson and all our guests for helping make this a memorable time for us,
It was the first time I had witnessed an Episcopalian Celebration and Blessing of a Home, and it was a wonderful and special ceremony. Rev. Kit and everyone went from room to room, each given it's own bible reading and prayer, followed by sprinkling of holy water. This even included the bathroom.
The cross above was our present from the church, and now hangs in the foyer behind the kitchen and the study.
We spent Saturday in Brunswick and St. Simon's. We saw the movie Man of Steel, of which I hope to have a more full review of later. Suffice to say that I am very grateful that the movie was a financial success this weekend, and I look forward to future movies about Superman. We also ate at Southern Soul Barbecue, where I enjoyed a BarbeCuban. It was very good. Then we hit some of the stores in Brunswick, including Target and Books-A-Million.
Sunday was home here. We went to church and Kroger, but otherwise just enjoyed our freshly blessed home. Alison's father came over and we had lasagna, and great conversation.
A pretty nice weekend, and now it's Monday morning. At least this week I look over the horizon and note only one meeting, so that is a great contrast to last week, where there was something every night.
Until next time,
T. M. Strait
