A great sports week

We have been busy again this week.  I dropped Evelyn at the rec center and went to the Urgent Care.  They were very impressed with my burn’s healing and gave me permission to return to playing golf.  I just have to keep the wound moist with some vitamin E cream and covered with a Gauze sleeve.  I am still pain free.  It was too hot to play golf, so we just returned home to clean the car because we were driving to the Tourists game tomorrow with Dwain and Pat Perry.

Tuesday we went to Silver Sneakers and then to Clyde to have Evelyn’s hair trimmed.  The woman who cut it is a local crazy lady.  We have a good time joking but probably won’t go back.  She doesn’t cut it likes she wants.  We had lunch and then rested because we knew we would be up late.  We left with Pat and Dwain about 4:30 and drove to 2 Guys Olde Style Hoagies to meet Dallas and Karen.  We had a good conversation and hoagies before leaving for the ball game.  The Tourists fell behind 3-0 in the first 2 innings but began to hit and couldn’t stop.  They finally amassed 22 hits and 16 runs.  We had a very good time with both couples.  We won’t see either much for the rest of the summer because they are both going on long trips.  We were home late as we thought we would be.

Wednesday we slept late. Evelyn exercised but I went to town to do light shopping.   We went to choir practice in the evening and then relaxed the rest of the evening.  Our friend, Jo, told me I should sleep with the cream on my burn, so I had to wear a sock to keep it from smearing onto the sheets.

Thursday I went with the neighbors to exercise my permission to play golf.  I just continued to wear the sock because the wrap I was given would let the sun into the burn areas.  The skin is all dermis and will burn easily causing pain.  I haven’t had any yet and want to continue the situation.  I didn’t play much differently with the sock on but did score higher than usual.  We always go early, but it was very hot when we finished.  The heat, even in the mountains, is quite debilitating.  Gary invited me to play with him and friend Jimmy on Saturday.  I think we can finish before Stacy and Olivia arrive.  I showered and then took a nap in the afternoon.  We dressed and went to Haywood Community College to usher for Folkmoot.  There were 5 groups of the 9 performing and each did 2 shows.  It was 10:30 when the 2nd acts was finished.  We hooked up with Jo to go to the late nighter.  The group from Philippines were the hosts and did a fine job.  They played dance music that the youngsters from various groups loved and led games that were fun for them.  We had a light lunch but were disappointed that no Filipino food was featured.  We plan to take Stacy and Olivia to the one Saturday night.  Olivia can then help us with the clean up.
