Olympic competetor and treacherous wind

Tuesday Evelyn could only exercise for half an hour. She had to dress for a book review in Mercedes. I went to get one of our camp stools repaired, pay our homeowners insurance and see if our receiver for the car had arrived. It hadn’t and David wasn’t there. I went from there to meet Michelle Stillwell, a wheelchair racer who will compete in the special Olympics in Beijing in September. She is the daughter of our good friends the Bauknechts from Winnepeg. It was an honor to meet her. I returned home and found Evelyn there ready to go to the hospital volunteer luncheon. At this time I learned that Evelyn had been unable to go to sleep until 5:30 this morning. We went and enjoyed the delicious lunch and listened to the CEO talk about the hospital. During the talk, Evelyn fell asleep several times, so I took her home and put her to bed. The welder had called earlier to say the receiver had arrived, and we agreed that I would take our car to be worked on at 2, after the luncheon. I went and he had gone to lunch. I was quite upset and went to Mercedes to have the camp stool repaired since the store I had gone to this morning couldn’t do it. I returned to the welders but he was still at lunch. I told his helper to come to get the car but no one ever came, not as a surprise to me. We went to a party the neighbors had invited us to. They are one of the few couples in the park that has reciprocated when we invited them. There were many other people there that we didn’t especially care for. Many of them are crude, like high school or college freshmen. I did get to have a nice talk with one of the Canadians. He brought up the Lord and my ears perked up. It was the best conversation of the evening. The meal was fantastic, made of walleye in one dish and shrimp and another kind of fish in the other. They were both delicious. Our friends, from Manitoba, love to prepare those gourmet meals. We left and walked around the park, stopping to make arrangements with another Christian lady to drive to the Christian Women’s Club tomorrow. I will try to get the welder to install the receiver tomorrow. It was the 7th high wind day in succession. The fire danger was high and a huge brush fire near one of the larger population areas. The fire line is nearly 30 miles long at this time and moving rapidly.
