Accomplishing many things.

We began preparing for the zillion things scheduled for today. Evelyn exercised, and I cut our grass and the neighbor's who are in Florida for a wedding. We have an agreement: I try to cut the grass during the winter, using his mower, and he does it during the summer. When we are both gone, a man named Juan does ours and many other lawns in the park. I am sure he works other parks also. We also had to figure out how much medicine we need to buy in Mexico to hold us over until the end of November when we return. We then finished cleaning the house that we began last night. Tom and Diesta Crouch came for a boiled dinner. It was delicious, very spicy, although Evelyn was embarrassed to have guests for a boiled dinner. I am so gauche that I don't know what is wrong with the choice. It was great in that Tom has bad teeth and really enjoys soft food. We visited a while and then they left. Evelyn cleaned up the kitchen, and then I dried the dishes. I thought she was getting ready to go to the Onion Fest but was in pajamas, getting into bed for a nap. I went anyway. It was very different from the other times I went. There were many barbecue stations giving away samples of chicken, pork and even beans. There were also many dinners for sale, but I had just eaten. I walked around until I found a booth selling 1015 onions. I bought a 50# bag for $10. It may be too early to buy onions to take north, but I did it anyway. I also went to the grocery to get some multi grain flour for making the superb hazelnut bread that Evelyn makes. She put it together, and we will have delicious bread tomorrow. We took a bike ride and stopped to visit the couple who bought Tom and LuAnn's place. They invited us in, and we had a nice visit. He was raised LCMS but went to an ELCA seminary where he became ordained and worked eleven years before retiring. I also stopped in to invite Tom Newcomer, who has been alone for at least two weeks, to play golf tomorrow afternoon while Evelyn is gone to Port Isabel. We tried to invite some people over to play cards tonight, but the ones we called didn't want to come. We will get together with them next Wednesday.
