Quilt Bingo and goodby to our flowers

OK this doesn't have much to do with Tanzania, but it has lots to do with Fish Lake Lutheran Church. We had 185 bingoers at Fish Lake this afternoon for Quilt Bingo. The prizes are 25 quilts made by the ladies of WELCA. What a great day for WELCA and thanks to all who attended and helped. Made another trip to Radio Shack for more electronic parts for the ham radio stuff I am donating to the Amateur Radio Club of Tanzania. Nothing big, but a nice laptop, some interface wires to connect it to a radio. This allows ham radio operators to use digital modes (like teletype only over the air) to communicate. It is difficult for the Tanzanians to get simple things we can get at Radio Shack. I am convinced that the reason the U.S. is so far ahead of the rest of the world in technology is Radio Shack. Inventors can run out and get another connector or wire as they develop new things. Anyway we are 1/2 packed and have just a couple more things to pick up. We have to put the flower pots to bed for the winter (reluctantly). We will miss the flowers and the beauty of little Fish Lake.
