The end of the week

Thursday was routine at work. Evelyn spent much of the day studying the book of Acts for her Bible study next week. We spent the afternoon getting ready for our stint as ushers for Folkmoot at Haywood Community College. I was tired and took a nap because I knew we would not get home very early. We had to arrive about an hour and a half early, a total waste of time. The instructions took about 15 minutes and then we talked with the other ushers who we didn’t know. The people began to arrive and, as usual, there was one woman who thought it her responsibility to do all the work. It is dull enough standing there but worse if one person won’t allow any of the other volunteers do any work. We liked the performances but so long that we left at intermission. We went directly to bed and to sleep immediately.

Friday the manager was not there. We had a good time but I got finished early again. I always have to find extra things to do to keep busy. I managed until noon when we came home for lunch. When Evelyn went to start the dark laundry, she found that a large bottle of Tide with Fabreze had fallen from the top of the dryer stacked on top of the washing machine and had broken. There was laundry soap all over the floor. We worked with a flat pancake turner to scoop it up as much as possible. Evelyn had to lie down a while. The soap continued to ooze out back toward the door so I could scoop more. After resting, Evelyn accompanied me to the Iron Tree Golf Course. Seniors can play 18 and have a cart for $20. I played 14 holes before a heavy rain stopped us. I was playing too badly to care so we came home. I barbecued three eye of the round steaks seasoned with crushed peppercorns for our dinner. I thought they were tough and don’t want to have them again. We kept cleaning and Evelyn finished the dark laundry before we watched a movie about Savannah, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”. It was a good movie but not much in it will help us on our visit.
