Settling into the heat

It has been in the high 80s for the past 2 days.  We have been going out in the mornings to do our errands and working inside during the afternoons.  I had cut many maverick trees and dragged them to the curb for pick up by the park workers.  We tried to work on getting the house ready for living.  Evelyn has worked very hard and has cleaned the cupboards and the curtains.  We have decided to try dieting again and bought a smoked turkey.  We spent all day Saturday working on carving and packaging the bird.  We are counting WW points on our food.  I called a man to ask for our unit to be washed, but he couldn’t and hasn’t contacted me since.  We have also been trying to repack some clothes to store in the trailer because we have far too many here now.  We are also beginning to organize things to take to Israel in February.  We went to Immanuel for church Sunday but didn’t see Joe and Bonny because they were in Kerrville for a funeral.  We needed to talk with them to make arrangements for going to one of our concert series events on the 18th.  I have made arrangements to lead the driver safety class again.  Veterans get to take the class free during November.  We are beginning to move back into our former routine.  I even went to talk with one of the men who organizes our worship service and learned that everything will continue despite one of our leaders recuperating from heart pump surgery.  We are also working on organizing our charity giving.  We have mucho dollars to give away since we have to take mucho from our tax shelters.  We would rather give it to the Lord’s work than the wasteful government.  We also have our Direct TV hooked up now, causing a deterrent to my work.  I got our golf car on the road tonight and it just stopped working.  Our neighbor had to tow it back.  I am beginning to feel short of breath with all we have to begin doing shortly.  I have confident that Christ will empower us as we need it.
