End of a wonderful week with R

Sunday we arose with an hour less sleep than yesterday. We were off to church where we had Holy Communion with 38 other Christians. We have a new amplifier system with a lapel microphone. Jim Bruhn found it for sale on Ebay and got a very good deal on it. Many people have expressed difficulty in hearing some of the service and this will help. We came home and R finished packing for her trip home. She wanted to have a milk shake so we went to Jack in the Box where I had a bogo coupon. We went from there to Church’s chicken for lunch. Bonny had come home from the skiing trip yesterday and met us for a short visit with R. We went off to the airport. Evelyn got a voucher to allow her to go up to the gate area with R, but was told only 1 person could go. I was able to persuade the authorities to allow me a voucher too. We had our final hugs and R boarded the plane pretty much on time. We went to Kohl’s to shop for shorts for Evelyn. She found only 1 pair she liked. We also went to Tuesday Morning to look for a “butter shaver”. They had none as was the case at the store on the Island. We came on home and took a nap. We had invited Bonny and Joe to come for games at 6 tonight but never heard from them. We talked with Janice and Helen Fisher during the evening but heard nothing about Rosalie’s arrival at Columbus. We prayed before she left that she would have no problem changing planes in St. Louis. We assume she did well but are disappointed that we have not heard. It is back to normal tomorrow.
