Wednesday

Off to walk. We drove to Lake Junaluska and the air conditioner is still working. I called the repair shop so they would not be waiting on me and was told to just keep driving until it quit again. That is a good sign. Evelyn walked alone because I wanted to wait for the man who gathers quarters from the game room next to the Kern Café. I waited for him but he had not come when E returned. In the meantime, my Juno e-mail stopped working. This is disastrous because I don’t know many e-mail addresses that are kept in my address book. It is like knowing your friend’s number is 3 or 4 on your speed dial but not really knowing their number. I was still able to use Internet Explorer to retrieve e-mail, but not able to send many. I did contact Juno and told them the problem. I will wait to see if they can help me from afar. I also asked around the café for anyone who might be computer literate. There was no one! How unusual to have a café full of young people with laptops who don’t know much technical information! We went to Wal Mart and drove the motor home to the Jonathan Creek Hide-away Campground where we will store it and hopefully rent it out some days. We came home late and had lunch of leftovers again. Delicious. I was watching Windtalker because I have to return both movies today when Shirley called inviting us to go out with them to celebrate Paul’s 70th birthday. We went to a seafood restaurant that had changed ownership from last year and did not share a meal for a change. A big mistake. E had fish and shrimp, and I had broiled red snapper. She took half of hers home. I put part of mine in with it. We would have both been satisfied sharing either meal. Shirley had brought a birthday cake so we enjoyed it together. We left them and went to choir practice at 7. We came home and I watched an old Peter Sellers movie I had bought for a buck in Texas. I called for Tom and Stacy to tell them when the Folkmoot parade was and got Olivia who must have been asleep. She thought it strange that I call “at this time of night” (9 PM). I left the message with her and then went to bed in the middle of the movie. I will finish it tomorrow.
