Tonight my family and I went to chruch at Highland Lakes United Methodist Church in Kingsland, Texas. Because the church was in the middle of nowhere, and i knew nobody but my family, i was forced to entertain myself using drastic measures. What follows is some excerpts from my brain, and my thoughts and musings about my the people and my surroundings.
You might be in a retirement town if... Everysingle woman in the room doesn't have hair longer than her ears and it is either curled, teased, or both.
Welcome to Texas: The pencils in the church are from the local grocery store, stamped and labeled. The local grocery store is none other than H-E-B, founded by Mr. Butts, himself.
Only in Texas: You go to church and the woman in front of you is wearing a cowboy hat, decorated with a gold sequined ribbon.
Retirementtown, USA: Another woman in front of you is wearing very large, bug-like sunglasses, and her outfit is complete with huge, gaudy silver-and-gold earrings.
And my favorite: The choir was almost entirely old people with the exception of two younger people... a boy and a girl. You can't help but imagine how the matronly granmothers tried so hard to get those two to go on a date. You can't help but picture the guy's sad and pitiful attempt, and the girl's painfully apathetic rejection. They practically set the scene themselves. He with his perfectly parted hair and boyish expression, and her with a face that never smiled.
