Time For A Picnic

Once again, it was time for our annual parish picnic.  A wonderful time of fellowship, food and fun, all in a beautiful setting.  The weather was perfect (how often is the weather "just right" for an outdoor event).  Children swam in the lake and played on the expansive property and the adults enjoyed volleyball games and campfire conversation  that lasted well into the evening.  It reminded me so much of similar events from my childhood where one simply did not want it to end..but end it did and now we pack away our memories and look forward, longingly, to next summer's picnic.....
