Looks like I'm back

Didn't think you'd see me again, did you? Honestly, neither did I. When you don't have a computer, you use your tablet if you have one. Mine worked enough for me to write while the library was closed, but it ran out of memory then went all josoco and stopped working altogether. I thought I was sunk.

I don't recall if I've written about having started to attend church where I live. Like most things, I'm slow to jump in with both feet, so I haven't officially joined this church as of yet. But I do enjoy going and there are some wonderful people there. They just got a new pastor last spring, and in my opinion, he's a keeper. Pastor Glenn Bezerra is young and brings a whole new dimension to a conservative Southern Baptist church. From what I've seen, he's really given the church a good kickstart. Reaching out to the community is high on Pastor Glenn's agenda, and the church has planned or will plan events that involve the community. With five acres of property, there's a ton of room. A recent event was a block party. Everyone at church was invited and encouraged to bring family, friends and neighbors. They had a ton of food—American, Brazilian, Filipino and Mexican. (I had a little of each.) There were games, music and a raffle. I even won a new tablet. (I was surprised because I usually never win anything.) I invited my mom, my sister and my nephew. All of them had a good time, got to take a tour of the church, and they got to meet Pastor Glenn.

It's been about a month since the picnic and I haven't yet set up the tablet. But I'm behind on most things these days. Overall, I'm not feeling well. Even though I'm fully vaccinationated with one of the COVID-19 vaccines, I'm still struggling. After my poor Honda quit running last December, I've been driving Diana's old Corolla, and now it needs a ton of work. Per my last post, I still haven't been out to take a much-needed coaster ride. Taxes. Issues with my home. *SIGH* 2021 may go down as a worse year than 2020.

This wasn't a world record-breaking post in terms of length. But it's enough for me to reconnect with both of my readers. Despite the challenges, I think I'll be OK when all is said and done.
