Motor home jack troubles again

We did our morning routine and then had a piece of toast before heading to Mexico for some vanilla, rum and a haircut. I also wanted to take two of our NC TV trays back to the artist for a touch up. There was a gouge in each of them. The artist was not there but the young man who should have done them in the first place was there and volunteered to touch them up for us. He did such a good job that Evelyn thinks they are better than they were. We enjoyed the trip because we were early enough that we had beaten the crowd. We were back in the good ole USA by a bit after noon and had lunch around 1. We did not eat heavily either meal today. We had a message on the telephone that one of the jacks on the motor home had malfunctioned. I decided to wait until it was cooler before I went there. I was, in fact, quite tired as I tried to finish the sermon for Sunday. I had to take a nap while Evelyn (who had napped earlier) went to the grocery to get groceries for Saturday’s etouffee dinner. When she returned, we unloaded the car and I finished the order of service for the February 12 service. I have to keep ahead so I can get the hymns to the accompanist to practice. I then called the motor home renters to see if the coach was level. It was not so I went there because the refrigerator could be damaged again. We thought that the hose to the right front jack had ruptured and the fluid ran out. This is a real problem, not for the present but for the time when we need to bring in the slides to travel. I must look for someone who will come to the site to replace the hose. I pray that that can be done on site and that someone will do it. I came back after leveling the coach and ate a light supper. We both went to a Bible study. Mine was on Ecclesiastes. After an hour of study, I came home and chopped the ingredients for the etouffee. I am the souse chef for our projects. I use a large knife and our Black and Decker electric chopper. It cuts very fine and cuts down on the irritant to the eye when chopping onions. We went to bed. We have to have blood drawn at the hospital, paid for by the hospital because we volunteer there. I am trying to get a copy of Microsoft Office Professional. I think Evelyn can still buy the disk quite cheaply being an emeritus professor. I just have to learn whether she can buy it here at UTPA or have someone in Indiana buy one and send it.
