More rain

We woke to enjoy seeing that it had rained during the night. It continued until we went to worship. We sang with the choir and took Holy Communion before coming home to enjoy a roast chicken dinner Evelyn had made. We were finished with the lunch and the kitchen clean up by 2. I watched the Cubs play the Marlins while Evelyn took a nap. I wakened her around 4 because she wanted to return some DVDs she had checked out of the library but they aren’t open on Sundays any longer. We decided to go to the lake for our walk and then went to the hotel to post some pictures before returning home. By then it was 7. I made popcorn and Evelyn decided to make caramel corn in a paper bag. We were nearly out of popcorn last week so we had bought some. I mix white and yellow so I poured 2 pounds of each into a colander to mix them together. I then filled the 2 containers we keep on the kitchen counter. I had some left over and somehow spilled over 2/3 of a cup into the garbage disposal. I spent more than an hour pulling out kernels using a tongs. I got almost all of them and used a small vacuum cleaner (as Evelyn suggested) to suck the remaining few kernels out. One got caught and stopped the disposal from running. I dug around the edges with a screw driver and corrected the problem. I watched a little TV while eating the popcorn I had made while Evelyn talked with Pauline, a friend she worked with at IPFW. We watched the news and then went to bed. We had more rain and then learned that Asheville had a storm that knocked out power in some places.
