Preparing for the big freeze

We wakened with the alarm, but Evelyn was too ill to go to exercise. I took the key to the ladies who showed up. I brought the man who does work in the park to look at our water problem. He agreed with Armand who also came out to look at things. I was especially concerned about the exposed pipes we had uncovered. I shoveled dirt into some holes that we want covered permanently and put a plastic into the hole containing the shutoff valves and piled some dirt on top of it so we could just lift it out when we begin to talk with the park manager about rerouting the water line. I came in and found Evelyn up and ready for breakfast. The kitchen band had a performance at a local nursing home scheduled for 10. I went but Evelyn didn’t. The residents always seem to enjoy the silly outfits and instruments we play. After I returned, we went out to cover our garden with the tarps we have. I think we did a good job but only time will confirm that. I worked a bit on the computer before taking a nap until around 4. The park system gives a “Welcome Back” dinner. This year it was spaghetti. I went a bit early with a bottle of wine and visited with a friend from the kitchen band. I had intended to bring Evelyn’s home but was surprised that my friend suggested that I take them both home. I did and we enjoyed our supper together. Evelyn walked to a friend’s house to a women’s Bible study and was gone until 9. I finally walked over to get her. She didn’t have any business being out that late having the cold that she does. We came home and enjoyed the ice cream bar that had come with the dinner and watched the college championship game.
