Adoption again

The usual morning routine. I looked around at the flea market a bit and came home. Evelyn had the final Bible study while I went to return a part and get some construction paper. I went to Wal-Mart so I could get some satisfaction on the watch we had bought around Thanksgiving. The manager gave me a $25 gift card since he could not find the watch in the Elgin catalogue. The construction paper was for matting of the picture of Christ’s open arms that broke on the way here in November. I came home and gave Evelyn the car so she could go to lunch with her Thursday evening Bible study women. When she returned, we talked with the man who runs Mabel’s Children Refuge, an organization that supports poor children in Mexico so they can attend school. We adopted a student for next year. It costs $240 per year to support a high school or college student. We were both tired after he left, so we took a nap. I don’t quite understand why I am tired so much. The sinus situation must drain my energy. I went to the hall for my lunch to support the park. We sell breakfasts and lunches on Craft sale/flea market days. After lunch, we called Bonny to see if she and Joe were going to the poultry judging at the stock show. Their granddaughter has chickens in the event. We drove because we have a parking pass since we volunteer. The granddaughter placed third in the competition and will make some good money when the birds are auctioned off Thursday. Many local organizations pay big money for the animals to support the kids.
We walked around the grounds a bit, stopping at the Lutheran Laymen’s League booth and a demonstration of an iron called the “Eurosteam under pressure” iron that was specially half priced at the show: only $200! We opted to not buy one. We went to the DQ for an ice cream after and got home late.
