10/30/2004: "Bazaar"

The church bazaar, Meyersville. We were signed up or the 6:15 seating of the turkey dinner. I got down a little before five to check things out. As I drove up I saw Peggotty's sister talking to Mrs. Bodgers at the produce stand. I went in and saw that Peggotty had sold quite a few of the books. She took a break and made her husband and I go through the funhouse. About six the Micawbers showed up and we obtained our tickets for the dinner, then stood in line outside the fellowship hall. A little gentleman in line with us introduced himself around: Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen. I suppose i can use his real name as he is a public figure. He seemed nice enough. I did not ask him any tough political questions, or anything at all. I imagine he's going to win; I thought of asking him the name of his opponent because I couldn't remember it (as it happens, it's James Buell). The dinner was good, the hall noisy, the pie excellent. Goodbye to Peggotty and all my rummage friends.
