Bread and marriage encounter

Saturday we just worked in the kitchen instead of walking. I began by writing several checks for medical bills and to support our Mexican student. Evelyn finished her glazed peanut butter bar for the marriage encounter meeting tonight. I showered and she washed and set her hair. This is a process that consumes several hours. Since she couldn’t sustain the time in succession, we made some hazelnut/poppy seed bread. We had bought the ingredients earlier and had waited to make it. Evelyn put the ingredients together and then we both stirred and kneaded the dough. We put the three loaves into the oven to rise and went back to computer and hair styling until time to bake the bread. It turned out marvelously delicious. It was time to leave and we drove to Marion, NC using our GPS which worked excellently. We were right on time. We had a nice sharing about how we as a couple reflect God’s love. The people who will loan us their motor home were the presenting couple. They had worked hard on the presentation. We shared and then had a dinner we had all carried in. We only stayed a short while because we were 1½ hours from home and Evelyn gets very nervous riding at night. We came home but stopped at the Wal-Mart on the way home to get some batteries for our timer, calculator and Road Whiz. The timer is finished, the calculator works only on solar power and I was only able to save the Road Whiz. We came home and relaxed before retiring. The spiral will be held at our house next month so we will be the presenting couple.
