6/14/2015 Sunday in Portage, IN

We wanted to attend  the nearest church (St. Mary's of the Lake) in Gary, IN today. Due to rainy conditions and the distance from church (5 miles)  we contacted Uber for a ride.  ($11)  As we milled around in the vestibule before church, I saw a lady and asked if she knew of anyone who might take us back to the marina after church.  She said she lived near the marina and would take us there, but she usually went out to breakfast and asked if we would like to join her and some of her friends.  We agreed and, after church,headed for Denny's with a group of 11 parishioners.  Ron and I were welcomed by the group and had a very nice time.  We'd like to thank our new friend, Dorothy, for being so generous and providing us with a ride.  Dorothy, after hearing the name of our boat (Adagio) asked if we were musical.  She shared that she has played violin with the symphony orchestra for the past 27 years.  During her working career, Dorothy worked out of her home typing phone books (key punch technology).  Very interesting!

The rest of the day was spent catching up on laundry and arranging for Ron's trip this weekend to NJ for his 50th class reunion.  He will fly out Friday and return Sunday.  Duke and I will hold down the fort at the boat while he is gone.
