dull day, wild finish

Up and the usual. It was not nearly as windy this morning, making for a more pleasant walk. I had to come home and leave for my all day AARP meeting in McAllen while Evelyn was off to the Christian Women’s Club luncheon in Harlingen. She met up with Janice who brought our folder containing the title to our unit in Harlingen. She took the Skoal and medicine to her from Mexico. She has convinced Evelyn to return to Indiana to see her mom. I spent the day in a meeting to explain the use of the new edition of our instruction manual. I had to take the second half of the training session first because I could not go to the first one yesterday. I had a delicious lunch of lemon pepper tilapia. I may have to change my opinion of Dennys--at least this one. Both the food and the service are quite good. I went to get the other car remote reprogrammed but could not. I went to the pecan house and got a pound of hazelnuts for our favorite bread. We arrived home at about the same time. She napped on the porch and I looked at the mail and e-mail. We went to Ranchero Village to borrow some Communion ware for Sunday’s service if we are still here. We saw the Bauknechts out walking and talked for a while. We got the items and brought them back home because I didn’t have the key to the storage room at Trail’s End. We had dinner and Evelyn decided she wanted to fly to Indiana Friday. She wants me to go too. She is willing to stay for a week. We have made plans to make plans to fly out then. We have many activities to cover before we leave: the worship service (covered), parking for the shuffle tournament, replacement for my scheduled AARP class, our heart healthy meal we are to host, and our working for the dance next Friday. I was blessed to notice that our property taxes will come due while we are gone, so I wrote and mailed checks to pay them. I also tried to tally some of our tax deductions for last year. Evelyn called Dixie trying to get some final determination from the hospice people caring for Mom. There was nothing we could find out because they had made no determination and would know nothing until tomorrow morning, when we will perhaps make a final arrangement for travel--or not. We are still praying for direction.
