No crickets and cheese - that would be CRUNCHY protein!

Eric picked me up late, and we were on our way to Lesley's for dinner. Discussed our weeks and what we'd been up to, and then had trouble with being buzzed into the apartment when we did get there. Encountered feedback and crappy noises, instead of Jon buzzing us in. When we got that figured out and were in the apartment, we saw Lesley - quite surprising to me since I thought she'd be at the airport. Jon explained that by saying that John H. was logged in as her for some reason - very bizarre! Chatted with Ben, Sheena, Karen, and other about laundry / errands / selective earthquake concern / messages / putting beer (Traquair Jacobite ale) in jambalaya. The wild sole and papaya salsa was good and refreshing stuff too, for sure. Had a bit of durian shake - aiya, Dylan was RIGHT about a durian conspiracy!

Discussed Communion, Montreal, long-distance relationships, the EXPENSIVE four-cheese Sunday dinner, the MEATY sauce Sunday Dinner, Dallas, chickpeas, the church not being changed from the last time Ben was here, Tony being confused as to who was from Daniel in the group, driving across the country, chalices, the new church building, health, crickets and cheese next week at Martin's, Tony's family coming from Hong Kong in July, cleanliness, dusty watermelons, throwing Nathan off this morning, and more. Sheena picked up an old photo album, from 1989 to a few years ago: LOTS of people I haven't seen in years! (and some whom I still do see regularly) Mark H., Judy K., Marian W., Maisie, Natalie K. (Brad), Dennis, Rich, Derek, Keith, Jeff, Mel, Frances, Anita, Esther, Elenor, Stella, Benjamin, Billy, Auntie Vera, Lauren, Phil C., Karen Choo, Winnie, Connie, Esther, Lily, Lee, Kenny, Hannah, Nathaniel, Megan T., Andrea, Jessica Lai, Joe Y., Linda, Irene, Fabian, Jackie, Shally, and others were at weddings / baby showers / bridal showers / the mountains / on trips / at hockey.

Dropped Tony off at the Skytrain station, and then dropped Teresa off at home before continuing to Richmond. Teresa wanted to pray with us before she left the car, so we did that - it was actually interesting. Listened to Jon's side of his conversation with Harmony about drinking out of a communal chalice - not recommended for the sick! I remember the Fujian church that Teresa mentioned too... gave her some history of ours (like how we're just renting), and talked about health stuff too. (Jeremy knows a lot about that and beer, haha) Apparently, Fred is living with seven young girls - oh my. Eric asked if I wanted to see my place, but I said that was fine - it looked okay yesterday when Steph drove past it! Got home to find Grandma still up: she didn't need to wait till we came home to go to sleep!
