Blessings again

Up again. I walked both parks and Ray wanted to show me what he had torn down in their mobile. I could never undertake any project like that for fear of getting things so messed up that we could not live there. He said he would work on reloading Windows into my old computer. I came home and dressed for the day. At around 9:15 Evelyn came home to relieve me from my telephone watch. We thought Dixie might call. I had some errands to run before 11 so we could eat and Evelyn leave for the program at the hall. I went to Trail’s End to deliver a picture and Purdue clock to the motor home. No one was there so I put them into an outdoor compartment. I also sold one of the vanity bulbs for the Winnebago we once had. I got home so Evelyn could make it to her meeting. I would have gone but was again on phone watch. Just before Evelyn returned, Dixie called with the good news that Mom had been accepted into hospice but was thought to be somewhat improved. The nurse said she was not in imminent danger. That likely means that we will not be rushing to Indiana tomorrow. Evelyn came home and reported that the talk by the man from the sugar growers association was very good but poorly attended. Only half of the 60 who had signed up showed up. We had a little celebration, and then I had to get hot on a sermon since we will likely be here Sunday. As I worked, Ray and Genny came to deliver the computer he had reloaded. He caught his toe in a separation in our porch carpet and would have gone headlong into the wall had I not caught him. Both Genny and I thought he was joking until we saw the hole in the carpet. We just must take it back to Camping World to see if we can get our money back. It is less than a year old. They left and I went back to work. Shortly Evelyn brought some sausages for me to cook on our new Q-grill. As I began Dixie called again and was able to talk with Evelyn this time. I had to continue with the grilling since I had started it. We have had it since the morning of our colonoscopy but haven’t had occasion to use it. It is likely one of those things that works better on the drawing board than off. It did an adequate job despite being in the wind. We ate one each and then Evelyn left for an evening Bible study while I went back to work. As I write this, I am listening to Johnny Cash and Stephen Curtis Chapman on a Billy Graham special. It is very uplifting to be reminded of what I already know--God loves me. I continued working. The Lord continues to give me ideas so I will keep at it. Oh yes, I had been trying to cover myself for being gone next week but can discontinue the search for back-ups. I am worried about the AARP class, however. We have at least 33 signed up but I don’t think we can all fit comfortably into the room we have to meet in. I think I will ask if some of them will meet another week.
