Forgotten stuff

I neglected to mention in the previous blog that we took an 8 mile bicycle ride on Saturday. We left our park with 50 other people and rode to a local expensive golf course. We have an entertainment book that contained a coupon for a 2 for 1 hamburger. Nearly everyone had a cheeseburger and french fries. We cut ours in half and took the other one home for another meal.
But on to Sunday. We had 31 for worship, including Janet whose husband had just died. We went home for an Italian chicken breast lunch. We went for another bike ride and then to a widow friend from Manitoba. Nearly half of the winter Texans here are from Canada and most of them are from Manitoba. Fanny is a very gentle, kind lady who comes to worship Jesus with us most Sundays. She lives in the park next door, and we met her when we lived there 4 years ago. We came home for the evening to discover that our VCR was improperly set, so we missed American Dreams again.
Monday I had to repair the aerator on the kitchen sink. I have a new friend who can do many repairs, and he diagnosed the problem and took me to another friend who sold the part I needed right here in the park. It was cold so we rode on a golf cart to get the park. Every time I ride around here in a cart, I get tempted to get one. I can't though because I would be riding around everywhere instead of walking or biking. Some day I will be unable to walk, so I must resist the temptation and continue walking while I can. Evelyn and I had our hamburger left from our ride Saturday and then went out to mail packages and other things. I had to go to another park to check the logistics where I will teach the AARP driving class Thursday and Friday. We returned home so I could practice for the competition of the slow bike ride. We must ride through a serpentine path a slow as possible. This is the fourth event I am entered in for the "Encore Games". I don't know how I got into so many things. Evelyn was slowly but surely eliminated from all of hers. The final event was ping pong, but she learned that the competition time conflicted with a group meeting she is in charge of. Perhaps the co-chair can handle the group, and she can still compete. We spent Monday evening at home.
