Onions are great

We began by exercising and then returned to continue packing. We took most of our clothes out and the bathroom supplies. I also loaded the grapefruit into the car but put a plastic sheet down to protect the card table. Ray Stehlik came over and showed Evelyn why he could not build the pergola as we first planned. It will be fine as modified. He stayed quite a long time, and we went straight to lunch. Afterward Emily called and we talked with her and Elizabeth for nearly an hour. By then it was time to go to the onion festival. There was another barbecue contest this year and gave away much of the extras they had after the judging. The charro bean judging must have been next because I was blessed with two samples. One had all the ingredients but was bland. The second was excellent because it was spicy and delicious. We never learned who won but my bote was for number two. We went on to the main area and heard several bands. There was a Christian band but it was too loud and too contemporary. We were blessed to be approached by two young men from the Living Word Church, located near us. They were very personable and reflected the joy of the Lord. We listened to one of the bands for a while in the heat and then headed for home. On the way out we bought 50 pounds of onions for $10. They were huge and hopefully delicious. We will distribute them around the country as we travel. If I can I will buy some more so we will have some left in NC. We came home and decided to go to the dance at Llano Grande. There was a very good band there, and one of the members was a fiddle player we recognize from a band we had enjoyed ten years ago called Rebel Hill. This band played several Cajun style songs but mostly country western. We left a bit early because Evelyn gets tired. She is pretty gutsy though because she was probably tired before she let on. We arrived just in time to learn that it would be in the nineties for the rest of the week. It won’t be much cooler where we will be going.
