busy day

This morning I got serious and devoted time to writing the sermon for Sunday. That is after I finished skimming the area in the back yard. Now we have to find someone who knows how to spread the black barrier and outline the area with landscape timbers we have. I did fairly well on the sermon and had to stop for lunch. While I was working, Evelyn went to the nursery for some plants. The man who works there promised to come and give us suggestions for the yard but never showed up. After lunch I went to finish the class. Ironically I found the certificates I had been looking for. I thought I might after I got the replacements. They were in an easy location but I had been searching in the hidden places. The class went well and we finished early as usual. I then came home and worked some more while Evelyn rode with the bike club. I went to a Medical Air Services Association(MASA) meeting that provided pizza for our supper. We are interested in joining this group because it flies injured of seriously ill people to hospitals and their winter homes. The cost for both of us is $3,490 and pays us up for life. It also pays to fly a relative down to visit or drive our vehicle back to where we are being treated. We have been reading horror stories about people who have been injured or become ill on cruises. Since we are going through the Panama Canal in April, I think we will buy in before we leave. We left there and went to the local Gideon camp meeting. They have a dinner with the camp meeting but Evelyn didn’t like the most recent meal we had at the restaurant where it meets. She went to the auxiliary meeting and I stayed with the men. The topic was recruiting new Gideons. I agreed to allow a Gideon speaker to come to Trail's End on March 18. We came home and Evelyn went to bed early.
