How, you might ask.
My notes.
It's necessary. Very necessary. We have had 20 visitors on one Sunday before. If even one of them comes back the next week, I need my notes to help identify them.
What type of notes? Glasses. Long hair. Tall. Short. Permed hair. Highlights. Any identifiable characteristic.
At a recent class council meeting they decided that having a second person who knew enough people to take roll would be a good idea. I can't be there every single Sunday of the year and have about three people I call to fill in. Each of them knows about a third of the people. I'm not good at math, but I know enough to know those aren't good odds. The first Sunday we were both there she asked me a ton of questions and I felt pretty confident in her abilities.
But over the last few months each time that I'm gone when I get back I find notes that she's written to help herself.
And they crack me up.
The first time this couple was here I wrote down 'incredibly curly hair' next to this ladies name.

I wrote this also when this couple came to visit.

'Big guy' is a perfect description of this man. Well, he's tall. Like 7'5". Okay, maybe not that tall, but the last time he sat on my couch I should have moved the coffee table a bit...like across the street...so that he wouldn't have looked so uncomfortable.



Cracked me up! Well, you left us in suspense... Did it help her? What was her response? Do tell!
