Annie says there is a Convention of the Church of God in Hagerstown that we are planning on attending. I'm so glad. Maybe it will be cooler there. It has been so hot here in LA. I'm very happy to be on the road again. So as soon as Gary comes home from work and we get the last few chores done, we are leaving.

We spent the night in Alabama. The next day we drove to Tennessee and had reservations to stay at a little log cabin. It was kinda in the mountains. Gary and Annie celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary while there.

We left there on Sunday, June 27th. We got to Brian and Charnita's house Sunday evening. It was a long trip. It was rather warm there, too.

On Saturday, July 3rd, Annie finally took me to the 6:00 am prayer meeting. That was enjoyable. The temperature in the mornings in Hagerstown was in the upper 50s. Sure did feel good. After prayer meeting, we had breakfast downstairs.
The Castang family was responsible for fixing lunch. Of course, I got to be in the kitchen, too. It was so much fun working with the family. My! I was afraid we was going to run out of food. There must have been close to 200 people there for lunch.
After lunch, Vivian, Darese and Melda wanted to go down to see the new dormitories they built to house some of the folks that came from far away to the Convention.
Finally, Melda came out to her car around 3:30 pm and we went to her house. It was so nice and cool there. I hadn't been there for a long time.
July 4th was the last day of Convention. I went to Sunday School and Church. Gary, Annie, Melda and I went to Panera Bread for lunch. I got to go to the 2:00 pm service. I was kept in a plastic freeze bag during church. I didn't mind because I didn't want to attract from the service and it was cool in there. Then I went home with Melda and Twila.
