Surprise bike ride

Tuesday found me looking all over the park for someone who would take the hockey tickets. I found one of our park maintenance people who wanted to take 5 of them. He came to the house and I gave them to him. Today was to be the final ride with the bike club for the season. We were working on preparing etouffee for tonight’s dinner when we realized we would barely get to the hall for the departure time. We rushed there only to find that no one was there. We checked and found that the departure time was 15 minutes earlier than we thought. We were only slightly behind so we went anyway. The wind was behind us most of the of the way but not on the return. When we arrived at the first rest spot, another rider, Dan Servais, caught us and we finished the ride to the golf course together. We were surprised to find no one at the restaurant. We waited to order but went ahead and ate. When we returned, we learned that 3 others had met but given up when no one was there. We took a nap and began working on chopping for the etouffee we wanted to serve tomorrow night. Evelyn copped out on the hockey game, so I went to get Joe and Bonny. Since Evelyn wouldn’t go, Bonny wouldn’t either. Joe and I went alone. It was Joe’s first game ever and he seemed to enjoy it. We were home early.
