New friends

We did nothing unusual this morning, getting ready for our weekly volunteering at the hospital. I did finish the vacuuming I began last night and had some coffee in the hall. One of our park residents had gone on the Copper Canyon trip with the Merryfields last week and we talked about it. I also worked on publishing last night’s blog that wouldn’t go then. It published this morning. I am still lethargic and tried to nap before lunch but got solicitation phone calls and gave up the idea. We had a slow day at the hospital. We decided to go to the Elks for fish with one of the fellow workers, Paul and Donna. He is a man after my own heart: he loves beer. We enjoyed one before we left. We shared a fish dinner again, and we were satisfied. We thought our friends might go to the dance with us, but his legs were sore from standing with his chorale group last night followed by volunteering today. We went anyway and enjoyed ourselves. Not quite as many came as usually do, but the crowd was still nice. We didn’t stay until the end because we were tired too.
