Journaling right: September is the time set aside for the Widows’ Retreat at the Statesville Bible Camp in the beautiful hills of Boone, NC. It is sponsored by Damascus Baptist Church. I took Ilene on Monday and returned for her on Friday. We stopped at Olive Garden in Wilkesboro on the way there. 9/11 - 9/15. Ilene enjoying conversation with one of the other widows on Monday afternoon.

Noah asked us to come and see him at his new job in Winston.

Mark felt water drip on him in the basement. He looked up and saw the soaked floor boards under the bathtub. After a painstaking search he found the shower faucet leaking.

Mark wanted to sit by a fire down at the pits. I told him I would go with him. It was a bit cool but was a delightful evening. I took my knitting. 9/29/23
