On Sunday, July 26, the entire universe turned against the newlywed McCollister's, with a four-pronged attack.
We were vanquished in Van Nuys.

1. THE CHURCH
We started out with best intentions, leaving to visit Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA this week.
Since they only have one service at 10:30 AM, we woke up and left in plenty of time to get there.
But Google Map's estimated time can be deceiving, because we have learned that even if you make it to the destination's general area, finding the place and allowing for parking really takes another half hour.
Battling a maze of confusing directions, we finally arrived at a large church campus on the right that we assumed was the place. So, we went through the first entrance we could find into a huge parking lot.
Vastly huge.
Because we were behind schedule timewise, immediately we began searching for the visitor's parking area, which would assure us a close, convenient spot.
Of course, we would be wrong.
