More visitors

I was up and off with the neighbor to pay for our golf. There was no one there (because I had forgotten the time), so I went to the scheduler’s house and learned we were the only 2 going and could pay there. We took the golf cart and picked up the small refrigerator I had bought last night. I put it in the shed, plugged it in, inserted some beer and sodas and went back to the park meeting. I tried to line up some ticket takers for the dances and evidently stepped on someone’s toes who is in charge of the 50’s dance. He informed Evelyn that we were not involved with that dance. I had gone to the golf course with Armond. We were able to tee off by 10 but things didn’t go well for the first 3 holes. We got better but not good. The scores were not impressive. We had a beer and some popcorn before returning home earlier than expected. A young man came and sharpened our Cutco knives for us. We had invited 2 new neighbors for spaghetti, but one of the wives had stomach problems and couldn’t come. I went looking for a single man to invite rather than a single woman. I got the mail as I was looking for the man I never found. I also decided to go talk with the agent who insures our house. We keep losing shingles from the damage of hurricane Dolly. I asked that she send an adjuster to look at the roof, even though we had already contracted to have a metal roof installed. Perhaps we will get some adjustment to help with the expense. I came home and helped prepare for our guests who came at 4. There was Jim and Kathy Whitney and Armond O’Kell. We enjoyed some artichoke dip, salad, home made spaghetti and a delicious date pudding. They stayed until after 6 when it got cold out on the porch. It was a blessing that it was warm all during dinner. We cleaned up the kitchen and then tried to practice some of our tango steps, using the video we made of the instructors doing the steps at our final lesson. Evelyn was very tired and in bed by 8:30. I think her throat is better, but she worked hard today. I prepared an future order of service.
