busy days

I neglected to mention that the lady park worker came Wednesday afternoon to help us clean the higher windows and screens in the Texas room.  She is a hard worker and very good.  Thursday morning Evelyn went to have her hair cut by on of the many park residents who was a beautician.  She was told to stop coloring her hair because it is too dry.  I began working on making some parts of the worship services that starts the 27th.  Evelyn went to the LWML meeting at church, and I worked at home.  I didn’t want to attend the monthly steak fry with the men of the church.  I used our diet as an excuse.  I just don’t enjoy being with those who voted with the pastor to eliminate my job.  Friday I borrowed a pitchfork from the park to use in loading the bougainvillea trimmings I cut yesterday.  They have huge thorns on each branch.  I continued loading the trailer with things we want to return to NC as I waited for the man in our park who was to come to help me with my printer.  He is nearly as unreliable as some of the Hispanics that do work I our park.  We then went to the hospital to volunteer in the afternoon.  We came home for supper and picked up 2 widows to go with us to the “Water Coolers” performance in McAllen.  It was a clever idea but not as good as some of the others we have seen.  Saturday morning Budda came to wash down our unit.  He brought a friend to help this time.  I hooked up the trailer and took it to Joe and Bonny’s where we store it for the winter.  They couldn’t go with us last night, but Bonny too k Evelyn and another lady to a farmer’s market in Pharr.  I was able to talk a bit with Joe who happened to come home when I was there.  I got home just in time to watch the Purdue/Iowa game.  Purdue played a good game but lost.  Evelyn returned and I made her take a nap because she had not slept well last night. While she slept, the service coordinator from Llano Grande came to ask if I would bring the message to them next Sunday.  One of the men he had scheduled had moved to Dallas and neglected to inform him, putting him in a real bind.  I accepted. We then took a ride around the park.  She has been reluctant because of her knee problems, but she seemed to suffer no ill effects.  She worked on organizing her recipe books I had printed for her.  Oh, yes.  I tried to make a copy of something, and the printer suddenly began to work.  We arose Sunday and went to worship and Holy Communion.  Afterward we drove to San Benito to meet Don and Janice for lunch at the Blue Marlin.  We were delighted to see each other again. We didn’t  We came home and began to move furniture out of the way of the carpet cleaners who will come in the morning when John and Sue dropped in.  He plays piano for our worships and I gave him the hymn numbers for next Sunday.  We also made a plan to go to a high school play on the 11th and then to dinner at the Texas Roadhouse.  It has been a pretty busy few days but will likely get busier in the future.  Emily called and talked about her family.  Stacy may be in Florida for some reason and couldn’t call.
