We had another nice day. Once again, Kate got up sufficiently early that I did not have to wake her. That left us with the right amount of time for her to get ready without rushing her. I reminded her that Kevin was here and that we were going to church. I had looked through her clothes before she got up an picked out a couple of things. When I showed her one of the tops and asked how she like that, she said, “Why don’t you just let me pick out something?” I agreed. In a few minutes, I selected one of two tops that I thought would work. I had already taken a nice pair of pants that I keep in my closet and put them on the bed. She had them on when she suggested that I let her pick out something.
When she came out of her room, she was wearing a top that was best for everyday wear, not for church. I reminded her that we were going to church and then gave her the top I had selected. She accepted my choice, and we were off to Panera.
When we arrived, there was an unusually large group from a Catholic Church who often go out for coffee after morning mass. We have become acquainted with about 8-10 of them. I introduced Kevin who had met some of them on a previous visit. Kate was especially talkative and continued her conversation with several of them while Kevin and I were talking to another member of the group.
We had almost an hour before we needed to be at church, so Kate had plenty of time to finish her muffin before we left. In fact, we arrived a little early. That gave us time to visit with friends before the service.
We had a nice lunch and then went to one of our local theater for their last performance of a farcical play in which a group of actors meet for a weekend at the home of the lead actor. It was not a great play, but we enjoyed it.
After the play we closed out the day with dinner with a church friend who had been a volunteer for the youth program when Kevin was in high school. We had a great evening of conversation. It was a perfect end to another nice day.
