January 5

Today is Evelyn's day at the hospital. I took her there and went on to McAllen to work in the AARP booth at the travel show. On the way I went back to St. Paul's to get the video tapes that were found after we left yesterday. The AARP booth was about 10X10 and there were boxes of materials plus six adults, not including me. I couldn't even get inside so I went around to many other booths to get little freebees and some brochures. Cajun country was extremely well represented, and I talked at length with many of them about the great attractions in central Louisiana. Since I wasn't doing anything at the booth, I went to a Jack-in-the-Box and got two Panida sandwiches for lunch for Evelyn and me. It is a good thing because she was exhausted when I picked her up. We ate and then took a short nap followed by a trip to Wal-Mart and a pharmacy to get some Arimidex that she needs. We came home and then went off to Mercedes for choir practice. We were home for the evening by 8:30. The 86 degree temperature will disappear overnight and be replaced with 56 degrees with 10-20 mile per hour winds and drizzle. The nice thing about living here in the winter is that this "cold" front will last only one day. By Saturday it will be in the high 70s by Saturday.
