Even our wheels are blessed!

Yesterday at the Saturday Market, the women at the First Lutheran booth reminded us that today's church service was going to be a pot-luck picnic at the Pavilion following the "Blessing of the Wheels" service.  I had heard of "Blessing of the Animals" in the past, but this "wheels" thing was something new!  It was meant for all kinds of wheels, but we thought maybe our 4-wheeler, Cammie, might need to be blessed.

We finished up breakfast with our guests, jumped into Cammie and headed for the Town Hall...almost late, as usual.  We parked along with the other cars, but then noticed Pastor Nancy running over to us.  She motioned us to pull in over to the right a little...right next to the altar!

She focused her children's sermon on all things with wheels and even the woman in the wheelchair joined in! (but not pictured)

This was a joint service with Pastor Nancy's other church in Washburn, so it was a pretty big group of people today.  Of course there was a pot-luck dinner following the service and included in the food offerings was pickled herring and also smoked herring from the smokehouse here in town.  Yum!

Pretty quiet the rest of the day, but I found the first two cucumbers of the summer.  Yay!  Maybe the rain we're getting now (finally) will coax out some more!
