Campmeeting

 

 

 

We went to campmeeting yesterday. I remember when I was in grade school going to campmeeting with my folks and brothers. It sure was different than it is now. There was no air conditioning. We had to fan ourselves with little, paper fans supplied by a funeral home. We took a pic nic lunch and ate outside under a shade tree. And we listened to endless sermons and sang lots of songs. That was the most important thing for me - the music. So you can see from the pictures music is still the most important thing! Sandra's mom, Merna, came over to our house so we could take her to the meeting. We had a good time and got to visit with Mom for a while. We all got tired of sitting on folding chairs! Now we have air conditioned facilities rather than a tent. O well, it is still an adventure. The last sermon my grandma Gault ever heard was at one of the compmeetings. She came to visit us and went to an evening meeting with our family. She got to hear some good music by the "King's Heralds Quartet," and a sermon by the radio preacher, H.M.S. Richards. She said she enjoyed the meeting and we enjoyed sitting by our Grandma at campmeeting.
