Anyway, I was walking along the back of the parking lot and saw this "shed." Wait a minute! Didn't that used to be on top of the church? How did it get on the other side of a chain link fence? Did the owners of that house buy the belfry? Why? It's not closed in?
Anyway, there the topknot now sits, looking quite forlorn.

I was really doubting my memory. It did look as if the roof had been rebuilt and a square object removed from the front. You can see the new shingle line.

The clincher was when I looked at older photos and did find one of the topknot high against the sky. It's in the post linked below.
I just thought this was not only sad, but good for a chuckle.
In other news: I wrote 321 words and finished Chapter 17. I got 4 packages ready to mail and walked to the PO and the bank. I worked on editing jobs. Not a very exciting day, but productive. However, tomorrow is looking up!

Well isn't that interesting. That is sad that churches are disappearing.
Ann- it sure is sad.
Lulu: "Whoa, that was quite a haircut that church got!"
