5th, Spring
Ms. Graves is here nearly every evening, now. I welcome her, of course, and I even asked if her older sister would like to come and spend some time with Esther; however, it doesn't seem they have very much in common. Oh well; perhaps we could all have dinner together sometime soon, or a picnic! Ira does adore her, and she adores him. They will surely be lifelong friends.
The pastor has given me more work around the church, especially as his mobility has been declining. He is so kind to do so, knowing the struggles of my family. I will be inviting him over for dinner very soon. Currently, the church is being run out of an old barn, but I hope that someday we will get a proper building. Perhaps our next pastor will be a very rich man with plenty of money to put into renovations! More realistically, someone wealthy may move to Lychgate and put money into it. I will pray every night that very thing will happen.
