Burky's Blog

I better get this update email written before I would run out of time to write it.  And before I would have to write a long email or something.  Of course, I am not very true prophet, so I can't really tell the future.

Just for example, I was so undecided between three events on Saturday, and I decided to go for the cheapest, hanging out with my friends at Buck.  Upon arrival at Buck, we discovered that we are the only people there, so we had to turn around and went back home...1 hour drive roundtrip...for nothing.

But we did have a good time that evening, playing Rook, as usual.

On Sunday, we had a deaf party.  We all did have a nice time, although I was bit pissed at Debbie Towles for using videophone most of the afternoon.  Two poor people had to miss out using the videophone because of that, plus one did try to call during her usage.  But all is well that ends well.

September 30 is my family reunion and I plan to attend.

September 29, Lisa Ciccarelli and I are planning to go to Bloomsburg Fair with Curtis and Paula Horning.

Ephrata Fair is this week, and the main street is lined with lawn chairs reserved by their owners for Wednesday evening parade.  Next week, New Holland will have their fair.  I thought, my, Lancaster County towns sure like to have their fairs in the fall.  If I could keep in track of all of them.

I might want to enjoy parades of both Ephrata and New Holland.  I was in the parade last year in both of those towns.

Last week was rather uneventual.  I was at Ephrata Christian Fellowship last Sunday, and Paul Clark is now the only interpreter there.  Joanna and Dena Marini is no longer Marini after September 15, their double wedding day.  Joanna moved to Colorado as that's where her husband is from.  And Paul told me he won't be at his church for following two Sundays, so I went to First Deaf Church yesterday and presumably would the next Sunday as it is the first Sunday of the month.

October 6, we are talking about going to bull riding in Harrisburg, but Charlene inform us yesterday that Nelson and Caroline Weaver is coming in PA that day for his nephew wedding.  They would like to hang out with us, but we already first planned to see the bull riding.  I am not much for that, but Jay is being influential in that area.

October 20, Leon Hoover is planning a hayride that evening.  So I have quite planned that day, as there is a play at Fulton Opera House that afternoon.  I didn't hear from Lisa if we are going on her tickets or not, but I sure would like to go.  Fiddler on the Roof.

I am not sure what I would do on other weekends in October, but Charlene did say that Luke Martin is coming in PA from Canada for minister's meeting, and he would like to meet all of us.  No date set for sure, but I also would like to see other places.  Oh dear, I better slow down!
