On our way.

Monday was cold but dry.  I took Evelyn to exercise while I had a new battery installed at Auto Zone.  We picked up some more $1 bills by cashing a check at the bank.  When I got home, Armand and I went to play golf.  We had a terrible day playing in some mud.  The mud did not create the poor scores.  We didn’t finish until shortly before 5.  We found ourselves locked out of the entry gate and had to drag our clubs around it.  The pro, a Christian friend, almost refused to let us come into the clubhouse.  I should have told him how disappointed I was in his behavior.  After supper, we finished packing and went to bed before 9.

Monday we got up and finished our last minute packing.  We left around 10 and drove to Jones’ house.  We stopped at George West for lunch and arrived at 3.  We talked a while, ate cheese and crackers and drank wine.  We dressed for dinner at the “mess hall”.  The dinners are always delicious and Tom and Luann always treat.  They have to pay a flat amount each month and often don’t use all of their deposit.  They go on so many trips that they can’t use the money.  We came home and watched TV.  We had brought them a house gift of a nice ceramic urn for coffee from Gevalia.  The gift included a T spoon measure and some filters.  They have more room for it than we do.  We will meet them in the morning after they take their 2 dogs to a kennel.  We will leave for the airport after 10 even though the flight isn’t until 2.  There is a great deal of security to contend with.
