It stopped raining before dawn, but remained cloudy most of the day. following breakfast here with Ken, I went to our, church, at York Beach, to copy bulletins stopping at the cable company to exchange our data modem for a newer unit aa suggested by the cable company. There was a long line, so did not wait. Stopped at the motel and chatted with Hal. Another couple of weeks and I will recommence work at the front desk. Completed copying and assembling bulletins for Sunday's Palm Sunday worship. Also copied orders of worship for the Easter sunrise service, and the Maundy Thursday worship service. During the trip home I again stopped at the cable company with old modem in hand. There still was a long line, but I waited it out and received the new unit. Also stopped at Hannaford's where I picked up a few grocery items.
