Sunday we had the pleasure of attending Lakeside Community Church where my Mother, brother and his family attend. It is always a treat to hear their pastor teach. As a rule his preaching is not topical but verse by verse through a book of the Bible with no limit on the number of weeks it takes. I appreciate his thoroughness and always learn a lot. This happened to be the week the church was having a family fellowship after the service and it was nice to have lunch with most of my family that lives down there.
Later Roger and I went back to my brother's house for more fun and fellowship with John and Beth.

Monday morning Roger dropped me off at Mom's apartment and he went ahead to Minneola area to find a campground before the funeral service. I visited with Mom and showed her the blog and some other pictures from our trip and we had lunch. John and Beth picked us up for the 2 hour drive to Minneola. The service was at the church which my grandfather helped start in 1925, my aunt was a charter member and attended until her health prevented her from getting out, and my mother attended growing up. It was a blessing to hear testimonies of Aunt Helen's faithful service in the church and community and meet some of the people of various ages her life had impacted. At a reception later in the afternoon, Mom was able to meet children of friends she had grown up with and visit with some other relatives who still live in that area.

Roger and I had recently discovered that a former Sunday School teacher from a church we attended in Cary had relocated to Minneola with his company 7 years ago. We were able to spend the evening visiting with their family and meeting the new additions since they had moved away. It was a blessing to see hear and see how God has been blessing and using them here.
Today, Tuesday we walked around Downtown Disney a while and had lunch there, did a little shopping, then we came back to the campground to relax and take care of some correspondence and laundry and the like. Tomorrow we head north again to South Carolina.
