A blessed birthday

We were up early for some reason. Evelyn went to exercise while I waited for the roofers to arrive. They came and began work immediately. Before the day was finished, they were almost finished. They will return tomorrow. When Evelyn came home I made bacon and egg breakfast tacos to help use some eggs that won’t keep until we get back. We left here and went to the new Bible study that features the Beatitudes. It was a very good study. We came home and Evelyn decided to watch some of the videos Evelyn watches with her women’s Bible study on Thursdays. She watched all day and will likely be up to speed when she returns. The noise was steady all day as the roofers worked. We decided to have lunch late so I barbecued two remaining hot sausage links for sandwiches around 3. After that we rode our bikes to the hospital to get some masks to ear on our flight. She rode back home but I went on downtown to have the heels on her shoes repaired. She had broken them off last night on the asphalt of the parking lot after the concert. The man repaired them while I waited then I rode back home. Evelyn was still watching Bible DVDs. She was thrilled that they were fixed. I also talked with Randy Winston about his using our trailer to haul luggage on their skiing trip in March. I was worried we might take the keys to the padlocks with us. We had leftover soup for supper and then took a walk. We stopped in to visit a short while with our friend Fanny Crampton. She is a dear sweetheart friend from Manitoba. We came home, treated the white underwear and socks, and did the white laundry. During the day we were able to have a short conversation with Stacy. She became 48 today. It is just scary how time has rushed us along toward the end of our lives. It has been a very blessed life, especially since our entire adult family has come to know Christ as Lord and Savior. We also received Christmas presents from Olivia and really appreciate her thinking of us. We have only 1 and ½ days until we begin the trip of a lifetime. I think we are ready. Or nearly ready.
