Peddle for your dinner

I wakened at 7, checked the Okell’s former house, and found their car gone.  They are on their way back to Manitiba, likely never to return.  It is curious how one can get so fond of people in just 5 years.  I have been sad all day knowing that it is unlikely that I will ever see him again.  I know we both learned to love them very much and will miss them greatly.  I do know that God brought them to us for His purpose, whatever that was.  We left with the bike club to ride to Victoria Palms Resort for lunch.  We took just about an hour and were eating our lunch around noon.  The meal was a buffet featuring chicken and liver and onions.  That’s right; liver and onions.  I am sure I have never seen that entrée on a buffet.  There are restaurants that have it on the menu in NC but not here.  The ride itself was lovely.  The weather was cool when we began but heated up in a hurry.  Evelyn had to remove a hoodie and a sweatshirt while I removed my long sleeve shirt.  The roads to the resort were rough to say the least.  The trip was just over 10 miles RT,  but Evelyn made it just fine.  She was concerned that she couldn’t.  We showered and napped a bit after arriving home.  Then we went to the happy hour at the hall.  Instead of dancing, we talked with a couple from Michigan on their first trip south for the winter.  We had a good time.  We called Sue and invited her to come for dominoes, but she had surgery yesterday and didn’t feel like coming.  We played dominoes by ourselves.  We arranged our clothes for our work at the hospital tomorrow and our trip to the Stock Show volunteer barbecue party tomorrow night.
