We got home from Abilene Friday afternoon, went to a wedding that night, which was beautiful - outdoors wtih twinkly lights - and cleaned up the van from the Texas bugs on Saturday. Actually the people at the car wash cleaned it up. I had a mini-detail with the carpets shampooed. We stopped on our way home from Abilene at Apple Annie's Orchard/Produce in Willcox, AZ. So Saturday night we had fried green tomatoes, fresh corn on the cob, fresh green beans cooked with salt pork and a Pork Roast. Tonight I will make fried okra and some more corn on the cob along with the left overs. YUM YUM.
Now about the lectureship. Of course the highlight was the blog party at Cole's on Wed. night. Thanks, Cole for hosting the party. Tom and I were a little late because we actually went to the lecture on Wed. night. We met Cole, Beverly, Candy, and Tracy. We had already met Scott when we went to Hawaii in May, but it was great to see him again. We missed Katie and Jeremiah - they had already left when we got there, but we had seen them at Highland on Sunday as well as at the lectureship.
All the speakers at ACU were good but my favorite was Don McLaughlin. We went to all three of his morning classes at 8:30 - very early for us - and heard him on Tuesday night. His main emphasis is on multi-cultural churches and what they should look like. He is very energetic and easy to listen to. We went to our first ACU lectureship in Feb and we definitely prefer September. It rained on Sunday but the rest of the week was beautiful.
Did you see Desperate Housewifes last night? It is going to be an interesting season.

So glad to hear your comments about Don. Obviously he doesn't just save the good stuff for us, he lets everyone have the good stuff!
Interesting to hear ACU lectureship and Desperate Housewives in the same post....
