Another step towards normal this weekend; we had church at the building for the first time since early March. We're having 2 services to split things up, and we chose to go to the later one, which was much less attended. Beth and the kids and I were greeting, and only one person came in the entrance that Alex and I were covering (There are 3 separated by last name). There were maybe 30 people in the later service, but apparently there were more, maybe 70, in the earlier one. No Sunday School and no child care, of course. We're up to 316 cases in the county now, and the rate of increase is increasing.....Saturday I went on another bike trail ride in the morning, and replaced a cache back in the woods that has been missing (as has the cache owner) for some time. Also found a second one that we'd looked for and not found a couple times......Later on in the day we all went to Pottery Bayou for Missy's birthday and something to do, since it's open. Missy made a big dragon, Nat did a cup, Alex a turtle, Beth a camper birdhouse, and I a dragon head topper. Topper to what, I do not know, but I'll probably give it to Missy.....We went geocaching on Sunday out towards South Whitley. Found a few (including one out on a country road where we raised the ire of some grumpy middle aged man who was walking down the road from his house to find out what we were doing, and gave us a surly look as we drove past on our way out. A couple were in a park by the river and one was in a rail-to-trail path; both locations had a lot of skeeters......I made a key lime pie Friday night because I found out through conversation with the Rogers' at our house last week that Matthew loves it. Sunday evening we drove out to their house and "dropped off" the pie, meaning we stayed to visit and eat it with them. Matthew has an amazing baseball card collection.....Thursday I finally complained to the city about the moat in front of our driveway. It's been getting bigger and rougher for a long time now, and never really got fixed when the city redid the road years ago. Amazingly, within a few hours, two guys from the city roads department were at the house, doing some measurements and checking levels. I'm glad there was quite a bit of standing water still in the moat so they could see it. They told me that they were just there to check it out, and 'someone paid more than them' will decide what to do about it. So, it's on their radar, and maybe we'll get it fixed sometime soon!....Ruby is still missing....Missy had her wisdom teeth out on Friday. It went much easier than Natalie's; they just cut her gums open and they came right out. There was pretty much no swelling at all, and she didn't have a lot of pain.....
