work and play

I did work most of Saturday. I did get a late start, however, because we were so exhausted that we slept past 9:30! I didn’t know I was that tired but can understand why political candidates get admitted to the hospital for exhaustion but don’t know they are exhausted. We missed the kitchen band practice but will try to go to a nursing home on Thursday. I was able to watch the Purdue men beat Ohio State in basketball and some of the playoff football games. We also made chili during some of the morning and ate some for lunch. I say we in confidence because I do the chopping that needs to be done and open all the cans to pour into the pot. It was another beautiful day in the high 60s. There is some talk about rain for the next few days and we desperately need it. We took a bike ride around the park and saw 30 men gathered around 4 grills cooking meat for the cook out supper. I don’t go because it is too crowded at the cooking stations. We came home and I grilled hamburgers for us on our own grill and never had to reach over someone to turn them over. We watched some more playoff football and some country western singers on the RFD TV channel as I continued to work out the order of service. I went to bed around 10:45 while Evelyn was still on the phone talking to the granddaughters in CA. They love to talk. She had to finally tell them to hang up. We do love to keep in touch with both sets of grandchildren.
