ride, ride, ride

We got up and Evelyn went off to have blood drawn. While she was gone, I called to make an appointment with the doctor who will do our colonoscopy. I learned that Dr. McDougal has to send him a referral. I called and they are to fax it over. We will go to the doctor next week to make the arrangements. I continued working on the cleaning of the shed. It always looks much better for a few weeks until I have a chance to clutter it again. Evelyn went to walk on the treadmill after the doctor visit and then came home so we could get ready for the ride to the Tierra Santa golf course with the bike club. It was a nearly perfect day for the ride: 70s and no wind to buck. We had to ride through an area where the road was being repaved and enjoyed the pungent odor of hot asphalt. The restaurant at the clubhouse was all set up for us and everyone ate the same meal because of having the 2 for 1 coupons. We shared one and brought the other home. We did eat our French fries because they are not good warmed over. We rode part way with the club and then went to Trail’s End to submit our application to work at the Feast of Sharing. We also visited a friend who is a discussion leader in the BSF group Evelyn used to attend. She and her husband had been to Austin for the holiday and brought back colds with them. We pray we don’t get it. We rode on home and cleaned all the fan blades on the four ceiling fans we have. Gail, the friend, brought some cranberry sherbet for us to try. Evelyn had wanted to get a haircut but the woman who does it was in a shuffle tournament and must have done well because she got home late in the afternoon. She called and rescheduled Evelyn for tomorrow at 12:30. We continued to work on house cleaning and decorating. Evelyn did call the Adams County Hospital where her mom is recuperating. Things sound pretty grave: congestive heart failure, heart attack and pneumonia plus being 92 makes recovery a remote possibility. We are still praying for a rally in her health. We have begun to check on airline tickets on some of the discount web sites. We ate LEFTOVER tortilla soup for dinner and watched Purdue attempt to play basketball on TV. We had to leave for choir practice before they were put out of their misery. At choir we announced that we would like to have the choir come to our house after caroling on the 17th. We came home, I wrote this and went to bed. I was very sleepy through the practice and there is nothing particularly good on TV on Tuesdays.
