Oopsy, tipsy
We had a wonderful, restful night. We wakened earlier than we wanted but moved right into our regular routine. We had breakfast and I went straight to changing oil and filter in the car. We were just over 3,000 miles and had needed to keep the schedule. I had bought some ramps last fall and this was the first time to use them. They worked well and were quite an improvement over the boards I had nailed together and used before. Evelyn had been experiencing dizziness and had to lie down while I finished. Despite being somewhat dizzy, she went with me to work our shift at the Open Door. Our church was scheduled to serve, and I was to bring the message before the meal. There were several from our church but also many from the Maggie Valley Methodist Church. Before I could get to the dining room, the pastor read some scripture and said a prayer before beginning to serve the meal. Since Evelyn was still not perfect and there were too many people there, we went to the adjoining thrift shop and bought some candle dishes to fit into one of the anniversary gifts from Tom and Stacy. We then went to the grocery to get some items for our guests tomorrow. We came home and had a sandwich before Evelyn took another nap. Around 3 we decided go to Iron Tree, rent a cart and play 18 holes of golf. It was a warm but beautiful day, and I played well again. I play 2 balls and broke 100 on both of them. I know these things come and go, but now I am in a fabulous groove. I wanted to take Evelyn our for being so good as to ride around with me for 3 hours. We went to a Mexican restaurant and use a coupon for dinner. It was 2 for 1 but required us to buy two drinks. They only served Coke, so Evelyn decided to get a Margarita while I had a large beer. Toward finishing her meal, Evelyn began to get a bit sick. She has such a low tolerance for liquor that she was a bit drunk. She walked around the parking lot while I paid the bill. I caught up with her as she staggered slightly. We went to the grocery again and she hung right on to my arm. I am cracking up most of the time until we came home. We just laid around but finally had to turn on the AC in order to sleep.
