eat-a-thon continued

Thursday was a continuation of Wednesday. I loaded the recyclables into the car and went off to the center, took a sermon to Janet in the rehab center, and cashed a few small checks and put some of my $5 bills into$20 for our trip. We came home and cleaned up for our bike ride. We finally got to drive and take someone else with us. We arrived at the Anzadula park before the others so we waited a while. The trailer with the bicycles arrived and was unloaded. People in their cars arrived too carrying the salads and desserts. The hot dogs had beaten us there. We rode around the park but it was very windy so we didn’t go as far as we could have. We returned and ate hot dogs and many salads and desserts. This is the continuation of the feasts we began yesterday. Eating is quite a special event in the Valley. We rode again after lunch despite the wind. We rode to the dam that creates a small wide spot in the river. The road was gravel and had one down hill portion that had caused one woman to slide into a barbed wire fence when the club came here two years ago. We were more careful. One interesting thing was that we were at the one spot where Mexico is north of the Rio Grande River. That was an eerie feeling. We then packed up the bikes and everyone headed home. We went to Hancock Fabrics to get something for Elizabeth’s dress and still beat the bicycles home. We got or bikes and returned home just in time to entertain three people wanting to buy our fold up bikes and one interested in looking at our Saturn. We sold the bikes for $100. Evelyn took a nap and then prepared to go the Mercedes to lead the LWML devotion. She is always contentious and does a great job. I practiced the service for next Sunday and watched the NCAA tournament.
