Good health news

Monday I fixed scrambled eggs for breakfast and toast. After cleanup (the girls have food prep every third meal) Rosalie began her strong suit--cutting a pattern and sewing on her apron. Evelyn gave each girl a dress and Rosalie wanted to make an apron for it to look more frontier like. She spent much of the time on that project. The girls had also painted the bird houses while we were gone. We had gone to the dermatologist to see how Evelyn’s wound was healing. It is much better and will likely not have to be “shaved” again. That was a big relief for both of us, especially Evelyn. We stopped to offer a prayer of thanksgiving before we went on into town for some more milk and eggs before coming home to work on the apron project. Elizabeth and I played some Yahtzee and cards while Rosalie worked and Olivia played her electronic game. At about 4:30, Rosalie, Elizabeth and I prepared to leave for our golf game when suddenly Olivia wanted to go along. This made things quite complicated, but I didn’t want her to feel left out of any opportunities to spend time with us. We drove to Iron Tree and couldn’t rent a cart as planned because there were too many. We walked instead. I had bought a bag and some ladies’ clubs for them to use and off we went. I had removed my sling strap from my golf bag and had to carry it. I had left my pull cart at home. We played 4 holes, and I tried to teach them some things about how to play but am not much of a coach. Olivia seemed to catch on quicker than the others, probably because she is older and taller. I think the clubs were too long for the other 2. In all we had a very good time and got a good workout--at least I did. That is a long, hilly course. The girls found 6 balls during the game, 4 before we got to the first fairway. We were home by 7 eating the hamburgers I had grilled a couple of weeks ago. We spent the rest of the evening watching home movies of the girls when they were 4 and less than 1. Emily’s girls really enjoyed seeing their mother as an infant. The girls went to the tent and everyone was in bed by 11.
