Too many burrs

We didn’t get up too early because we planned to ride with the bike club to Jose’s Cafeteria. We left at 8:30 in the cool and had a great ride to the restaurant. While Evelyn ordered, I went to the hardware store to buy some letters to put on the mirror of the young barber in Mexico. Every barber has his name on the mirror behind him except him. I also found a few other items as usual. I returned to the restaurant, ate my chicken fajita taco, and left with the group to ride back. Evelyn and I went to see the oncologist to make an appointment. We then rode past our GP and made an appointment and had our blood pressure taken. Evelyn’s was 144/90, far too high. She is to start Crestor instead of Lipitor to see if it will come down. We came home and went to work cleaning the screen porch. It gets filthy when the dust blows in the summer. We borrowed a power washer from a friend, but it didn’t work. We used a small nozzle instead which worked well. Evelyn was went down to look at some stain glass designs for North Carolina. She was gone all the time I was working. I didn’t mind though. When she came back, I was nearly finished, so we finished and began pulling weeds, the ones this year are sand burrs. I have never seen so many here before. We constantly track them into the house even though we remove our shoes before coming in. We had thick rubber gloves or we would have stabbed ourselves in the hands over and over. Just as we finished, Lois and Lionell, our friends from another park. They saved us from starting another job. We sat on the porch and visited about the summer. The technician from Dish Network came to connect our system. I had left the remote in the motor home, so Lionell and I went to get it. The tech helped me understand how to work the system and everyone left. We had tortilla soup for dinner and then I rode around the park with the bike club again. I came back and worked on the computer while we watched our “new” TV.
