Big dinner preparations

We walked quite early and were very comfortable. We came home and dressed for our shift at the hospital. We were a bit early and stopped at the fitness center to inquire as to whether our insurance covers a membership there. It didn’t. We went on to the hospital and lunch. We were at our station early but were busy early too. But we still were able to leave early and were home by 3. Evelyn is in one of her periods of not being able to sleep well at night, so she took a nap. We began working on meal preparation for Sunday’s guests. I did much of the chopping while Evelyn worked on the actual cooking. She also baked a pie and some white chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious. She also walked with the neighbor ladies as usual. Then I watched the Cubs/Brewers game. I am pleased to report that the water heater produced great hot water. Hopefully, it will continue. Also Nick, our lawn care young man stopped to report that his boss was looking for a crepe myrtle tree that will only get 8-10 feet tall. She will also look for some shrubs that will produce more color during the months we are here. Most of those we have bloom before we arrive in the spring. A woman from church called and gave us tickets for a chestnut festival tomorrow morning. I will miss most of the Purdue football game but will record it.
