7th October 2018
Kelli had to work in the bookstore from 11.00am to 3.00pm, so I had another chance for a coffee.
Today the town was invaded by the bonnet girls. All dressed in long dresses and sandals with white bonnets. They all had the same expression of seriousness, no smiles as they lined up for their hot beverage. Kelli informed me that they were Mennonites which sound like something you would spread on toast, but no one here would understand that.
The bookstore was bustling with people browsing the shelves or just getting out of the cold.
Apparently Monday is a holiday called “Columbus Day” and they say the English have odd bank holidays. To the average American this holiday is as exciting as constipation, and is just to give bank tellers a rest from counting money.
We spent the afternoon at Dave and Georgia’s (the in-laws) for a late dinner. This time is fun as Matt and Brenda were there. Matt has good toilet humour, so we get on well. Matt wants to bring the continental style toilets to America, he is fascinated by the shelf built into the bowl. For what reason, I don’t really want to go into it, as I have just eaten. Although I am intrigued by it myself.
Another Lifetime to go
