Cloudy sky and somewhat mild temperature greeted us as we approached the Ridge. It was hard not to notice the autumn foliage color in almost full bloom. The first thing I noticed as I was paying at the cash table, there was no lunch in sight. That explained why there were more people in the lobby than in the meeting room speculating if or when the delivery will take place. That also explained why so many of us did not make it to the meeting room as the bell rang.
Even at our ages we can simultaneously sing the Rotary Song and slowly march into the meeting room. By the time the Pledge-of-Allegiance was recited, most if not all twenty-one of us had ambled into the room in time for a wonderful invocation by Laura Floyd. “Autumn Prayer” was the perfect invocation theme for the season reminding us of the creativity of the Divine Artist reflected in the hues, colors and the feel for the seasonal change.
Better-late than never-arrived lunch consisted of three trays of ravioli in sauce, a tray of mixed salad and rolls. It could have been worse, which is no lunch that did happen one other time if my memory serves me right. Cheer up, next week is pizza week. Ned Lynch did his best to cheer us up by passing the cookie tray.
