Talk with the pastor

Monday Evelyn ate her oatmeal and then took me to meet the pastor at Underwood’s Cafe. She thought I was to meet him at 9 but 9:30 was the time. I had to sit alone for what turned out to be 40 minutes while she walked the lake. He was 10 minutes late. I had eaten half of my blueberry biscuit when he arrived. We had a very good, amicable conversation in which he seemed willing to help me get a supervised position. He can’t do it himself but said he would talk with the circuit counselor tomorrow, hoping to get some direction. As it turned out, Evelyn sat outside waiting for us to finish but I didn’t know that. I came out and we drove to pay for the items we had bought at the Relay for Life: 18 holes and a cart at Waynesville Country Club and a one day pass to the fitness/spa at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville. We also checked out the price and situation at the fitness club at the hospital. It seemed quite expensive for us. They have an initiation fee that seems ridiculous to us. We came back and made what seems our daily stop at the grocery before coming home for lunch. Evelyn wanted to frame and hang a picture of a rooster so I found a frame here with a picture of us from years ago. The rooster now covers it. I barbecued 2 of the steaks we bought last summer. We have only 2 more and 2 filets left. I don’t care much for the flavor of meat cooked on a propane grill, but the texture was very good. We also had a delicious salad with feta cheese and strawberry dressing. Afterward she cleaned the kitchen and took a nap. I try to avoid that so I don’t wake in the middle of the night. When she wakened, we watched our sports programs and then ate hotdogs for supper. Evelyn still has some stomach problems and ate only ice cream. Evelyn did some ironing and then watched “Dancing with the Stars”. I have decided to start going to bed at 10 instead of 11:30 so I don’t sleep so late in the mornings. We will see how that works. We tried to call Emily but she was with Andrew who is trying out for the basketball team. We don’t see how a home-schooled boy can legally play on a public school team. It is, however, California.
