Great dinner with friends

We awakened to a great blessing: RAIN! It had rained nearly ¼ inch during the night. It was only a light sprinkle so I decided to walk. It was also cold and windy so I didn’t go far. I went to have coffee and then left because we had doctor’s appointments at 9:30. I left in a downpour but had said I would walk in a rainstorm if the Lord in His mercy would send such a thing. I was drenched when I came home. I cleaned up and drove back to get Evelyn. We went to the doctor to have our bloodwork read. Mine was very good. Evelyn had to have some further tests and we were there for more than an 1 ½ hours. We ran a few errors and returned here for lunch. Afterward I needed to nap and did so for more than an hour. I had to call the pest control guy and request the unit be treated on the afternoon of April 5. That is about as soon as we will be able to leave. We can tell the renters so they won’t have to suffer the smell of the pesticide. I am also working feverishly to find a suitable piece of plexiglass to make the deflect the stones from other vehicles that could chip the Saturn. The large mudflap on the back of the motor home should stop those from us, but other vehicles passing on our left often fling things onto our car. Of course this happens even when driving the car as well. Earlier we talked to another couple who might be interested in renting our unit for the next season. We will have to wait to see whether they can reserve a spot and like the interior since they have not seen it as yet. We went to Harlingen to get the bougainvillea that we had bought for outside the unit there. Evelyn wants to make sure it gets watered. We then met Don and Janice waters for dinner. We really enjoy being with them and hope they will come to visit this summer. We had a coupon for $25 discount but had to spend $50 to activate it. We struggled but made it to $52. I had a buffalo burger that I thought was good. Everyone else had chicken fried steak. Don and I like to drink beer together. We were home by 9:45 very happy.
