Double disasters

We went to worship and had a nice congregation of 36 people. There may be more next week when more people arrive. We left there and came home for lunch and spend time finishing cleaning for Tom and LuAnn. We suggested they park in a driveway where we knew the people had not arrived yet. I put some boudin on to cook and got distracted in putting our chicken wire around our garden (the neighbor saw a critter eating leaves from our tomato plants). The boudin burned and smoked up the house. We opened the doors and turned on the fans while clearing the house. It seemed to work and the odor didn’t last as long as the burning in NC this past summer. That was disaster #1. Tom and LuAnn arrived and we visited and watched a DVD of their first trip to Buenos Aires. We went out to the screen porch and were talking when a tow truck went by with Tom’s truck on it. We nearly fainted but ran to our car and raced after the truck. We caught up with it and learned that a neighbor had called the police and the park manager about a suspicious vehicle. One of the park workers looked the truck over and instead of looking around the neighborhood to see if anyone knew about it just let the car be towed. We had to pay the man $80 to get the truck back. That was disaster #2. We came home and entertained our 2 other guests--Tom and Sharon. We had snacks and drinks and desserts before they left. Emily called and talked with Evelyn for more than half an hour. Then we and Tom and LuAnn took a walk around the park before retiring. It was a beautiful evening without wind, making the walk a delight. We prepared our medicine for the week and went to bed.
