Yesterday and today

Tuesday we went to Bible study in the morning and came home for lunch. We have a good time talking with the painters too, and the one who was a landscaper in Ohio, Enrice, wants to fix our back yard for us. I will check with the man in the park to see if he is still interested. I went to practice with the park choir again and then came home. We rested a while and then dressed to go to Harlingen. We met Janice and her friend Diane at Boog a de Boos for dinner. Don had to stay home to bring their granddaughter, Morgan, to the Vance Greek concert. The restaurant side was closed for a private party, and we didn’t want to eat in the bar side (unfortunately, while we were waiting, Evelyn left her glasses there), so we went to a local Mexican restaurant. We ordered a botana for four (we had forgotten the one for two was enough for four) but had to take most of it with us. We enjoyed the concert that featured Vance’s two sisters, brother-in-law and daughter. Most of the remainder of the cast was from the Rio Hondo Baptist Church. The highlight of the show was a performance of Ave Maria by the band director from the Rio Hondo High School. He sang and played a trumpet marvelously. We came home right after the show. One interesting thing was that we could not understand how to use the new Magellan GPS system we had bought. Evelyn read the instructions to no avail. We will work on it together sometime soon.

Wednesday I walked around the park and ordered the AARP driver materials for the class I will teach at Llano Grande. Evelyn made a loaf of bread in the bread machine. It worked better since our friends from Canada told her how to do it. We had lunch of the leftovers from last night and still had some left over. We rode our bikes to the pharmacy and the bank. I got angry because they would not cash an AARP check even though Evelyn has an account there. We rode back home and took some gifts to be loaded for the trip to Mexico tomorrow morning. We came home and the painters finished. We paid them $1350 dollars. It was well worth the money because they not only did a good job but took many things down from the siding and put them back. The place really looks nice. We went to worship and then had choir practice. We will sing at the Christmas eve service after I sing with the Southern Comfort choir at the vesper service here. We came directly home. I told the pastor’s father-in-law how to get to the restaurant where Evelyn left her glasses last night. He is going to San Benito and the restaurant is sort of on the way.
