golf in 55 degrees

It was cold and drizzly when we got up this morning. Evelyn went to exercise and I had to call AARP to order materials for my driver safety class January 14. We came home and prepared to go to Tierra Santa Golf Course. We had volunteered to cook lunch for the golfers on winter Texan appreciation day. It was too cold for Evelyn, however. She dropped me off and went to run some errands at Walgreens to buy supplements, deposit money, pick up my sandals and other things. I stayed but didn’t cook. Some golf employee barbecued hot dogs and some of the waitresses and I put them into buns and inserted them into small individual sacks. I did this until noon and then ate one of them. I also had a beer (the golf course and the local sponsors furnished everything) before looking for Evelyn. I was to tee off at 1:07 and needed the clubs I had left in the back of the car. She was there in plenty of time, and she ate a hot dog and some chips before I left to play. She went back home and I went off with 2 of the slowest golfers I have ever seen. They rarely had their clubs ready and one of them never knew when to hit his ball. Soon 2 other 4 somes were stacked up behind us. I couldn’t take it and after 4 holes I went ahead of them, played 2 holes alone and joined another 3 some to finish out. I played poorly before joining the 3 some but improved enough to par the final hole. The course is one of the most plush in this area. Evelyn was waiting for me when I returned but went back to the car while I had another beer and some chili. There was entertainment in a tent all day and I hoped we could dance a bit. It was too cold for her and not good for her chest congestion. We came home and packed in for the night. She had made a Ruben sandwich soup similar to one we had eaten at Schlotsky’s Deli last week. We agreed it was not as good but admire her creative spirit. We watched the video presentation for tomorrow’s Bible study and planned a teaching approach. We agree that this study is really too much in scientific depth for most of us to understand.
