Good news on the Jeep

We stayed in bed until 7:30. Evelyn had to rush to the exercise room and perform to an exercise tape with one other woman in the park. She really can’t miss and leave the other woman alone. When more people arrive, maybe a few more will join the group. I walked the park to give Ray the announcement about the Martin Park golf tournament but remembered he golfs with his park on Fridays. I returned, showered and worked on tweaking the sermon. Suddenly I received a call from the man who first looked at the Jeep two weeks ago. He offered $5900 then but this morning increased his offer to $6100. I told him it was his if he could go $6200, and he agreed. Thanks be to God for his mercy. We will meet Monday morning to finish the deal. I went to the Chamber of Commerce to get some small stick-on calendars for the new year. When I was there, the new rehab center was giving sausage and cheese biscuit sandwiches and taking blood pressure readings. I did both. I then went to the grocery because of some specials on some over the counter drugs we needed and had coupons for. I also went to replace the mats from the Jeep for sale. I had to hurry home because we had to be at the hospital at 12:30. Evelyn had lunch ready but I ate only a portion of it because of the sausage I had eaten. We had to drive to the hospital because of time. We enjoyed the first part of our work, but after a couple of hours, Evelyn’s eyes began to water, get red and droop. I sent her home and walked home at five when I finished our time. I took some Tylenol to Evelyn who was in bed with a headache. She has been having mild headaches and indigestion for a few days now. She stayed in bed for a while and then we had hamburgers that I had grilled weeks ago for dinner. After that we were surfing the TV and happened on to Remember the Titans starring Denzel Washington. It was a good movie about race relations using football for the plot. We really enjoyed the story which was based on a true story. I don’t know how much it was based because I don’t have much faith in Hollywood script writers’ ability to stick to the truth or the original story. We learned that Mrs. Waters, Don’s mother, died and we will go to the viewing Sunday afternoon. I am sorry I never met her and the casket will be closed so I won’t even get to see her in death. We will have the carpet in the motor home cleaned tomorrow.
