Pot, mushrooms and Anglican Ministers
Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.

We had a good get-together at the home of one of our fellow Humanists. It was a 'pot-luck' and there was plenty of food and wine to keep the spirits up. The bad part was that it was an hour and a half's drive to get there. Beautiful though it was, being on the Winnipeg River. We came back with a large zucchini and some huge oyster mushrooms. One of our new members was there. He joined us in May and told us he was an Anglican Minister who became disillusioned with the church and all its trappings. He came to the Humanist 'pot-luck' with his wife who most definitely was still a devout Anglican type person. As happens when Humanists (some would say free-thinkers) get in a room we started railing on about religion in schools and the push in the USA to teach 'intelligent design' in the schools instead of evolution. We forgot all about her and she withdrew, eventually telling her husband that she wanted to go home now.....now. I am sure that we will see him again but she left the impression, or rather the distinct impression that she would not be coming with him to any of our meetings. Just as well, she left behind her lemon poppy-seed cake! mmmmmm-good.
Mom stayed at our place babysitting the pooch. The two of them are bonding nicely. When we got home at 10pm the dog was fast asleep on the couch and the Mom was fast asleep on the love-seat. Tomorrow we are going to take Mom out to the Lake to stay in the trailer for a couple
of days. It's supposed to be sunny and warm for at least Sunday to Tuesday. We have someone who wants to see our old trailer tomorrow.
I hope that they buy it. That would be a load off my mind.
anyhow.....peace.
