busy day

Tuesday was a whirlwind. We slept late and drove to Clyde to buy strawberries. On the way Evelyn stopped to see the doctor because one of her prescriptions has not been renewed by the doctor in Texas. We will have to try again tomorrow. The same is true of the strawberries. We learned that the lady will not have any until after noon tomorrow. We drove back to Taco Bell, and I finally talked with the manager. They wanted to pay me $6.90 per hour, but I had told them last year that I wouldn’t work for less than $7.25. They checked with last year’s manager who said he had promised that. I start to work next Tuesday. I don’t know how long I will stay but I will start. We went to the Folkmoot center and volunteered to usher and distribute brochures in our area. We also paid $100 to go to the gala where the performers make their first performance. The dance troupes will be from Korea, Mexico, Russia, Jamaica, Sicily, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Macedonia, Peru, and Romania. It is always fun to see these dancers from all over the world. We came home for lunch and then went off to distribute the brochures. After that I went to deal with e-mail while Evelyn walked. When we came home, we found the house full of smoke. She had put something on the stove to cook for tonight’s potluck and forgot it. We think the pan may be ruined but will try to clean it. We don’t know how long it will take to clear the air. Evelyn continued preparing our dishes for tonight and then took a short rest. We had a great dinner and a good Bible study looking at the book of James. We came home and Steve came over to tell us he has a date with Kimberly Saturday night. They are both rather shy but wholesome kids. We hope they like each other. I watched some of the Pistons/Cavaliers playoff game and went to bed.
