On Thursday evenings there's a Mass at Mission #2 and afterwards we decided to go down the road to Parson's Marina for a drink and a snack. It's tranquil there, with a view over the lake and offers $2 beers and discount pizza on Thursdays, which can't be bad.
So we pulled in to Shooky's only to find several other members of the flock already there who had cunningly skipped Mass in favor of cut price lakeside fare. In fairness, the latter's a big draw but look, you can have both. Hmmm, maybe I need to say an outdoor Mass at good old Shooky's, move the mountain to Mohammed, sorta thing.
Then more people from the church turned up, it was getting to be like an Annual Parish Meeting and I found myself invited to a dove hunt on Sunday. Great result, let's see if the birds are flying when the day comes around and regardless, it'd be good to get out in the field now the climate's changed.
We'll see how that goes, in the meanwhile, what a lot of fun to meet up with such good people as the sun was beginning to set over the lake, beautiful. I feel more of this is in order.
Cheers,
LSP

ReplyDeleteYep, break out the Holy Water and consecrate that place. Lovely pictures LSP!
ReplyDeleteThat was my thought, Parson. Have a Mass there. If Shooky's is willing. Or maybe even if they're not.
ReplyDeleteYou all be safe and God bless.
Thanks, DOS. New to me and I like it, in fact it makes me want to try my luck on the bass and then, handily, retire to the congenial setup for drinks and a snack. In fact... I bet they'd cook up the catch. Let's see.
ReplyDeleteShould probably have a blessing, Linda, and an outdoor Mass wouldn't hurt. Oh, just came to mind, you can rent a large boat there, dinner and drinks included, and go for a sail on the lake. Maybe the Mission should do that -- start with Mass on the Boat and go from there, not too expensive.
