Pastor Annabele and the tech crew with the music director Jennifer
We have had the regular service every Sunday
by virtual feed.
Reduced from two services to one.
Community Lutheran Church Sterling Va.
We have been attending for over 15 years.
We found our home after searching for six plus years.
After transfering to NVA from WNY
We finally found what we had left behind.
We tried numerous churches
Being directed into spaces for social distancing
We became involved – watching the community grow
Now – we have but one outside service left to attend
and – we shall depart once again
where we will seek out another church
The parking lot – cars on the outsideThe pastor and set up in the middle being filmedAll around – on the grass – on the hill – people attendingThe trees providing shade with blue skies overhead.People attending – estimated 70 to 90 with 108 on line
Six months is a long time for a pastor not having any contact in person
Six months and so many changes taking place
People moving out – leaving as we are doing
Six months of changing lives.
Never to see them again.
Our little family group – Marcus father and mother – Sherry – Tammy and the little ones
It will be sad when we leave
For pastor told us that the last service we are here
She and the congregation will be saying their goodbyes to us
Emotions for both Sherry and myself will be high
We can not hug – shake hands – only stand there with masks on
and once again leave – on our next journey.
The church and bible have taught us this
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY
One more service outside – then saying goodbye – going to be a emotional day
And it sits on what I think is still the Rappahannock River
or one of the many inland bays of the Chesapeake Bay.
My son in law had eaten here before.
But – where ever it is – I want to go back
As I had the best AHI TUNA I have ever eaten!
AHI TUNA
It must of been the seasoning – and it was done just right!
We had gone off the resort of The Tides –
because the day we arrived – their dining room was closed.
And Marcus and Tammy had been here before.
Not many people at all – we almost had the whole outside to ourselves!
And you could not sit inside.
SHRIMP & LOBSTER ROLL!
The little ones all had the shrimp and lobster roll along with Sherry.
She said it was very good!
Tammy and Marcus had the oysters as a appetizer
Now – I have never had a feeling to eat oysters
and I think that goes way back to my father
every Friday night – he had oyster soup!
And it just did not look good to me!
Bode almost made it
Bode wanted to try one –
but at the last moment gave it up to Taylor
and she ate it and gave it a THUMBS UP!
The view from our table
I think there were three other people there
but they also were doing a good take out business.
You could walk over and look into the kitchen from three sides.
And two ladies were busy cooking in there!
I recommend this place!
Sherry taking the three little ones to look into the bay where they saw a dolphin up close!On the other side was a marina with tons of docked boatsBode Taylor Cassidy
I would imagine this being a very busy place
if it were not for the pandemic
Marcus and Tammy said when they were there last year
it was packed.
I hope it stays – I most likely will never get back there
they just had to make sure since they were so tiny
that they would eat and be okay.
Today Taylor – who I think is going to be as tall or taller than Sherry!Cassidy – she loves her MorMor ( Sherry) and asks almost everyday when we are leaving.Taylor and Cassidy
So the same but oh so different
day and night
Taylor laid back
Cassidy always busy
The birthdays were not planned
it was all in the hands of the doctor
and so now we have THREE BIRTHDAYS!
Celebrating three in one dayBirthday celebration comes in THREE!Taylor “BEAR”Cassidy – the little dynamoThe twinsWhen birthdays come in THREES!
