an eat-a-thon

Wednesday we rode the bikes to the Doctor to have blood drawn for Friday’s appointment. We rode back and Evelyn went to exercise while I talked with people at the coffee table. We both came home, cleaned up and went to the volunteer awards luncheon at the hospital. We sat with Lionell and some other ladies who volunteer. The meal was chicken fried chicken, rice, and vegetable medly followed with a dessert bar. It was prepared by the hotel’s executive chef and was delicious. I received a pin for serving 100 hours (147) and Evelyn for 250 hours. We had ridden our bikes to that also. The ceremony lasted for 2 ½ hours, and we came home to get ready for the going away party. We also rested before going to the hall for the hamburger picnic. We could barely find a place to sit even though we were 20 minutes early. There were two game contests and we entered the second, How well do you know your spouse? We won. This was quite a surprise to us but we won fair and square. While we were answering questions, John Hamel called and wanted to pick us up to go to church. It was funny because I was on the phone when it was almost time for me to answer a question. We got home just in time to get into John’s car. The choir director was not there so we didn’t sing or rehearse for Palm Sunday and Easter. We did learn how many of us would be there to sing so she can decide what she wants to do. We came home, John had a beer, Evelyn went to the grocery and I had some wine while we listened to music. He left and Evelyn made a dessert for tomorrow’s bike ride/going home picnic. I finally got the new phone charged this afternoon and now must read the book to see how to make the features work. We have 30 days to decide whether we want to keep it. We did decide to keep the golf cart which cost $975--a bargain.
