Band concert

Thursday was overcast again. It did rain some but the storms predicted never came. Evelyn got up and finished baking her casserole for the Bible study. She went off to church, and I went on line to clean up e-mail and check on Emily’s ticket purchase. I found that one of the ticket charges has been successful. I couldn’t find out about the other one. I looked around for the ceiling fan duster that I knew I had bought last year and finally found it. I cleaned all the fans (5) and then used another to dust all the ceiling/wall corners where cobwebs gather. I also decided to make some burgers. Our friends, Tom and LuAnn, had brought 2 two pound packages of venison that had been given to them, and someone had suggested mixing them with sausage to weaken the gamey taste and add some fat. There was a special on Jimmy Dean sausage this week so we bought 2 one pound packages. I mixed them with half of the venison. One of the sausages was regular and one was hot. I tried keep them separate because Evelyn might not be comfortable with the hot one. I fired up the Q-grill and cooked 12 patties. We ate two and froze the remainder for another day. We both agreed that the sausage made the venison better. Evelyn cleaned rhubarb and I chopped it into small chunks so she could make a pie and save some for some rhubarb shortbread squares to be made later. I then made her rest while I repaired the spinning flower that had broken in the high winds earlier in the week. I also cut the remainder of the venison summer sausage into chunks and went across the street to give some to our neighbors. They weren’t home but have a refrigerator in their garage where I put it. We dressed and went to church to meet a parishioner who had sold us tickets to a band concert in Hendersonville. Originally, his wife was to drive and the 4 of us were to go to dinner before. She had to stay home to sit with her grandchild so we went alone. I volunteered to drive because he drives a very old car. He plays a tuba so we loaded it into the car and went off. The concert was quite good. The first half being selections by Bach, Beethoven and others. The second half was scores from Broadway musicals. We enjoyed both halves. We drove home in a light rain. The cloud cover makes blacktop very hard to visualize, and I am getting to the age where my vision is impaired by those conditions. We made it anyway with the Lord’s protection. We came home and I wrote while watching the Spurs playoff game.
