cold and rainy

We were up and moving before breakfast. Evelyn had driven to exercise because she had to go help decorate the church this morning. After my walk, I came home and hung some icicle lights on the front of our unit. I also unwrapped and strung our rope lights around the perimeter of our screened porch. I came in and dealt with the e-mail and was surprised when Evelyn came home early. I quickly showered and we had lunch before leaving for the hospital. Before that, Evelyn began another batch of cookies. The day at the hospital was routine even though it was a cold, rainy day. Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough to make much difference. I told the volunteer coordinator about our cruise and missing 4 Fridays of our volunteering. We came right home and turned on the heat as well as some space heaters. Evelyn has worked on cookies for the past days including this one. She worked all night after supper on more cookies. Tom Jones called and confirmed their arrival on Sunday afternoon. We will try to make arrangements for the Newcomers to come for popcorn Sunday evening. We watched Ball State literally throw away the perfect football season by losing to Buffalo in the MAC championship game.
