work and sacred music

Here I am cleaning a wheelchair, one of the more rigorous jobs on our assignment at the information desk



This is our normal Friday afternoon information desk crew



I am still looking for someone to diagnose the hydraulic problem on our motor home jack. I had (and still have) a friend in the park who will look at it but he was committed to shuffle this morning. As a result, I did not do my walking. I talked with some of the coffee bunch and recruited another parker for next Thursday. I came home and met Evelyn for our shower. We ate lunch early and then went to the hospital early for our service to the Lord at Knapp Medical Center. We both got very tired and left a bit early. We had told the other two guys we had to do that so they knew before.
We came home and rested until our dinner guests arrived. When they did, we had a beer and pina colada mix and took off for the Elks that serves fish on Friday nights. Evelyn and I shared a dinner and had plenty to eat. We treated the Merryfields because Sharon accompanies us at worship on her accordion. We thought we might be late for the concert in Mercedes at 7 but we got there in plenty of time. The concert was beautiful although mostly classical sacred music. Joe and Bonny’s son Chris and his wife Rebecca did a masterful job. Their 5 year old son even played a song to begin the concert. There was an offering to help support the mission church across the street. There was a reception afterward and we ate some more for our dessert. A very cute Hispanic kindergarten girl ate beside us. She loved the chocolate covered strawberries. It was a joy to talk to her, a very well behaved young lady. We brought our guests back and they went home. The astounding thing of the day was that we exited the church reception in a light rain. It has not rained her for many weeks. We thank God for each drop He sends us.
