Christian experiences

We didn’t exercise because we had to ride to the oncologist for a checkup. We beat him to the office and had a good chuckle with him. He gave Evelyn a good report in his examination and saw us prior to her having a blood draw. He will call with the results as he will with the mammogram that will be filmed just before we leave for the summer. We came home and prepared to go to the hospital for the afternoon. We had to drive because we are both too tired to ride our bikes after the shift. We had a typical day: spurts of running followed by spurts of nothing. I had one heavy, weak woman to wheel from her car to admitting and then to her room. She was so weak, we had to get some interns from the ER to get her from the car to the wheelchair. She was with her daughter who was quite interested in what it was like to volunteer. We did get plenty of exercise. We came home and ate some leftover etouffee and boudin. Oh yes, we also enjoyed some of the hazelnut/poppy seed bread she had mixed up earlier in the day. It was great as usual. After dinner Evelyn insisted on cleaning the kitchen, the same activity that had prevented her taking a nap after lunch. I made her lie down before I would take her to the dance, featuring Lyle Beaver. She went to sleep and after an hour I wakened her or she would be up all night. We went to the dance and had a good time as does everyone when Lyle plays. He always closes the dance with a prayer, leading “God Bless America”, and a song “Jesus my Lord is Wonderful”. We got home around 10:15 and I finished this and listened to the weather report forecasting the 90s for most of next week. We met a couple at the dance wearing DeColores shirts and we talked with them for a while. They had attended Tres Dias in Vermont. They had both been rectors as had we. It is always a joy to meet fellow Cursillistas
