Welcomed rain at last

Wednesday was very quiet at work. It sprinkled lightly almost all morning. I did get the trash picked up between spurts. The supply truck always comes on Wednesdays, meaning another younger, stronger man comes in to put the items on the shelves and in the cooler and freezer. Again I was finished early but was able to help with some cooking. I ate lunch there because I was to meet Shirley for golf at 12:20. When I fixed myself a spicy chicken salad, Heather said everything that we eat now has to be rung up . We don’t have to pay but must have it rung up. This is curious because usually everyone just eats what is desired at almost any time. I will have to inquire as to what the new policy means. Evelyn took me to the golf course and the rain stopped when Shirley arrived. Last week was just the reverse. We got our cart and played 7 holes before the rain began. It was a pleasant gentle rain, but she just won’t play in any sprinkling. We went to the clubhouse and shared a soda until the rain stopped. When it did we finished the front nine. I shot 61, a continuation of Monday’s debacle. We played the back 9 and had no more rain until 17. Shirley wouldn’t finish that hole but did play the 18 even though it was sprinkling again. Strangely, my play improved and I shot 50 on the back 9 even though it is much harder. We finished before 5 and Evelyn came to get me. We came home and ate leftovers from Monday’s dinner before going to choir practice. We came home and I put my long pajamas on. It was too cold for shorts. We certainly thank God for the much needed rain. It was the best kind in that it was a steady rain rather than a thunderstorm that puts too much down at once. We watched the Cubs play the Cardinals and went to bed. I am beginning to tire of working each day. I hope we get some visitors so I can take some time off in August. We plan to go to Savannah in September. Evelyn spent much of the day bargain hunting and did her usual good job.
