Minibreak
After spending two days with my friend Cindy, I'm spending the day with my cousins from Frederick today. We're planning to see Annapolis for a little bit of history and a lot of shopping. I haven't had a vacation yet this summer, so these little day breaks have been fun for me to reconnect with people without having to stop my itineration schedule.
Yesterday I was in Mt. Airy, MD, and I had a great service with the folks there. It was a gorgeous day, and I applauded those to came to church rather than going boating or to the park. I got the chance to eat at the Greene Turtle in Mt. Airy--I managed to live in MD all my life without ever eating in one!--and it was really good. The associate pastor and his youth pastor wife are also VFCC grads, so we had a lot to chat about. Extra fun for me: one of the men in the church is Syrian, so I got the chance to talk to him in Arabic for a bit after the service!
