Hosting the spiral

We didn’t go to Bible class this morning but did worship. We sang with the choir and sounded good. The man who brings vegetables had bought some, and we got some green beans. We brought them home and put them aside until after the spiral. We had a couple of hours prior to the arrival of the other couples. We finished preparing the Mexican meal. Ray and Annette called and told us that they would be late. Charles and Billie were on time and changed clothes because they had come from church. Our Mexican theme stimulated their bringing sopopia cheesecake. When Ray and Annette arrived, they had brought some smoked whitefish from their vacation trip to Lake Superior. We had wine and then had our sharing featuring what we will miss about our spouse when one of us dies. It was a very moving. The question was inspired by the passing of one of our friends, Mitzi Edwards. When we started our dinner, Bill Edwards joined us. It was his wife that had died. He doesn’t have to speculate as to what he misses. We had scheduled our spiral earlier than usual so Charles could get home early because he has an hour and a half drive to work tomorrow morning. Therefore, we ate at 4 and they left for Marion around 6. We cleaned up the kitchen and then both took naps. Around 8 we wakened and went to the lake to take a walk. We finished in the dark. We watched TV and read the Sunday paper until the news came on. It was hot this afternoon and will be really hot for the next week. I don’t know how much golf I will play this week. I am still wiped out from playing in last week’s heat.
