Our granddaughter, Olivia, with us

We arose with the alarm and gave Olivia her medicine. I called Sharon about the air conditioner and she said she would be out in the late afternoon. We moved around slowly and finally got to the lake around 10. We found the roses were being cut and got some. I went up to the hotel lobby to see if anyone had turned my hat in to the lost and found but I found it right where I had left it Sunday. Evelyn and I walked the lake while Olivia played with 40 other kids on the playground. We all came home and had lunch before I took O to the horse farm. I returned home and stopped on the way to see if I could find a red peony and a grape holly type tree. I can’t remember the name but I found both. I wanted to take Evelyn with me to get O. but she was too tired. I took the trash so I had room to load the items we wanted to take to the church rummage sale. I also picked up the elderly lady we take to the Bible study. We all left for the study which was really not of much interest to those of us who haven’t been here very long. We took a tank sweeper, a propane grill and several sweaters I don’t wear anymore. Evelyn also took some clothes too. I took Frances home and Evelyn took Olivia to the grocery. I picked them up, we bought some gasoline and came home.
Wednesday brought a threat of rain and cooler temperatures. We had some errands to run so we didn’t get to walk early. On our way, we saw the man who owns the horses in the pasture across from us and Olivia wanted to talk to him. In the end he had invited her to come to his barn near to here and help him with his horses there. We went to the Folkmoot center to get some brochures that we are supposed to place around the Lake Junaluska area. We also mailed our tax return and went to library so I could work and they could find some books and videos to use. We left there and came home for lunch Poor Olivia called the Queen Farm and was told she could not come anymore. The owner had evidently said no. She was heart broken. She cried a long time but finally settled down. We ate lunch and then went to walk the lake. Olivia went swimming in the Junaluska pool while we walked and I worked on the wireless some more. After two hours we returned home and she watched one of the movies from the library: Flubber. We had dinner and she could hardly wait to get to the barn. Evelyn took her and had a hard time finding the place but stayed for nearly two hours. Olivia had a good time but was not given a ride. She did seem satisfied though. They returned home and watched another movie.
