Engaging dinner guests

We wakened around 6. We don’t understand why this would happen. Evelyn had been up at 5. She often gets anxious when we have company coming but has had everything ready for 2 days. We went to church and heard another great sermon and sang praises to God with the choir. We did not stay for the voter’s meeting because we wanted to finish some last minute items. Our guests arrived at 12:30. Darrell Schaller had been a professor and researcher for Kellogg in Battle Creek, MI for several years. He had just finished leading our Bible study about Islam. He knows a great deal about the lifestyle. We had a delightful visit with them until about 3. We cleaned up the kitchen before Evelyn went to lie down. She still couldn’t sleep any. I watched some NFL football and did fall asleep for awhile. We really didn’t do much the rest of the afternoon, but in the evening Evelyn browned some ground beef for the chili we plan to serve at the Ohio State/Purdue game in October. Gary and Linda brought some swizzle sticks to us as a gift for being invited to our previous party. We talked with Stacy and Tom about our departure date in the fall. Tom agreed that we should not stay around unless they tell us of a party Stacy is throwing for his birthday. We also talked with Noah and Rosalie for a while before retiring. I also watched some more of “Hamlet”, a production set in modern NYC. The dialogue was true but weird set in a modern setting.
