It's been a very good weekend
Friday:
Geo and I got the house cleaned up for my Tastefully Simple party. The weather was gorgeous, and I think everyone had a good time.
Saturday:
The weather continued to be gorgeous for the charity walk. Unsurprisingly, Geo and I were the only people from our church to walk. We didn't know anyone else there, and we were surrounded by a sea of Baptists. We walked at our own pace through various groups, and I said to Geo, "Let's see. So far today we've been Baptist, Catholic, Assembly . . . who's sign are we walking behind now?" I think next year I'm going to encourage our church people who live in Madison to join the Culpeper walk, and then Geo and I will host lunch for them after.
After the charity walk, Geo and I roamed the town street fair that was set up for the day. I met a Tupperware consultant who is willing to replace a piece of Tupperware that the company told me they no longer make. \o/ We also went to the farmer's market, but it's a little too soon for the produce I want.
We went on a bike ride in the afternoon, then to dinner at a friends' house. Delicious Italian food and good company.
Sunday:
It was good to get back to Sunday school, which I've missed for the past several weeks. And instead of a standard service today, we had an a cappella group from UVA perform. They were great. I love a cappella music.
Then Geo and I participated in a book reading for the kick-off of the sale of the local writers' group's new book. I read 5 selections, Geo read 6. There were six readers in all. It was a really nice presentation, and the writers loved hearing their work performed. The woman who wrote most of my readings stood up at the end of the program and said that as one of the editors, she'd read the stories over and over, but they'd never been as well written as they were today. She came up to me after and was very complimentary. I told her that it was the first time I'd ever performed anything with the author actually in the audience.
I love doing oral interpretation and readers theater and staged readings. This was a lot of fun, and we got some people interested in our new theater group.
Unfortunately, Geo and I had to miss the Easter play cast party at church, but such is life.
