Early October weekend


For the past three years, this was the weekend that the Danish exchange students arrived - and then there was a five-day weekend - but we're done with Danish exchange students, Vincent is not at Brown, and the exchange program is no longer. We've often gone to New Albany (IN)'s Harvest Homecoming Parade and Huber Farms on Saturday (and I've sometimes gone after work to Old Louisville's St. James Court Art Show Friday). We ended up not making it up for the parade but Stephanie and I did go to the art show Saturday afternoon. Stephanie asked me not to post the pictures of her eating, but there's a picture of the famous St. James Court fountain during our visit above and a scene of an artists' alley below. The art show was packed! I can see why I often go late Friday afternoon. Cool, fall weather has descended upon us. Although it rained some Friday morning - which no doubt complicated things - it's been clear since.


Next we picked up Vincent and headed to the KY Seminole Club viewing of the Florida State-Boston College game. With the recent losses, the crowds have dwindled - and some die hard members were actually in Boston for the game - but we hung around almost to the end, when a would-be turnover turned out to be for not and BC was able to run out the end of the game. A questionable call and a blown interception also punctuated the parts of the game we saw. We had too much food and Vincent took turns playing us in pool (where we meet for game viewing pictured below). The Buckeyes beat Indiana, which of course some of Stephanie's colleagues root for, but Louisville and Kentucky lost this weekend.

On the way home we stopped at Choi's Korean market (below) - in Linden, just a block from Pizza by the Guy, and some 3/4 of a mile from the Corner Cafe, where we celebrated Sarah's birthday the previous evening.



Stephanie - feeling somewhat better - and I - ailing - spent a decent amount of time at church today. I helped represent veteran members at a smallish potential new members' class - and then I said "Korea" in a World Communion Sunday opening celebration of where we're all from. This was a good service, complete with everyone in a circle at the end and cool music with Brad on percussion, Doug on the flute, and Kendra on the tambura) during the Lord's Supper: http://www.dougyeager.com/samples/DougYeagerCHPCWorldCommunion.mp3. Then at 4 p.m. Stephanie (for the first time this school year) and I were back - this time with Anna and Dawn - for Children's fellowship - sans "Debbie time" - the Children's choir part of it - because Lewis, Debbie, and Jessi went to Evansville after church. In the regime we've moved Children's Fellowship from Wednesday 6-8 to Sunday 4-5 and our seminary student intern, Rebecca (child of former Crescent Hill pastors) is leading it. Stephanie has been sick and two weeks ago we had just the two of us (Rebecca and I) and some 12-13 kids. This week we had nine kinds and four adults (much better)! After church I had noticed the church sign with a long-awaited new interior (below).

Oden, Ethan, and Dawn attacked an art project.



I decided to skip a Southern Indiana United for Change gathering at 5 p.m. in Jeffersonville because I had started to feel sick (and now have a fever).
