Beginning another week

Sunday was a virtual whirlwind.  We went to the early Bible class at church before worship.  We always leave early because we have to practice for the final time before we sing.  We do this each time we sing.  We had Holy Communion and sang a moving song to reflect the joy of the occasion.  We planned to go to brunch with the Szcymanskis at the Herren House bed and breakfast.  We had gone with them earlier in the spring.  Evelyn found something she really liked: French toast with blueberries.  I had an omelet with too many mushrooms.  We finished there and came home to change before going to Lake Junaluska to take tickets for the Folkmoot Sunday performance.  5 of the 8 groups performed.  During the show we had 3 very hard rains.  I contact the man from Chicago with the group representing Poland.  I had hoped he would call this morning and ask to go to church.  I went out to buy some extra beer in case they want to come here, but I will await his call.  Perhaps he and his friend don’t want to come.  We left there, went to Bo Jangles for a sandwich, and went to Maggie Valley for the monthly band concert.  It was a patriotic theme and the concert was very good as usual.  Paul and Shirley area visiting their daughter Laurie and came to the concert.  We were able to talk with them a few minutes.  We came home and I asked Doris to come over for popcorn.  She did and we had a visit with her for about 2 hours.  Evelyn is still coughing and fighting the mucus in her throat.  These bouts of cold like symptoms always hang on to her for a long time.

Monday we slept very late.  I guess the day overfilled with activity wore us out.  We ate a late brunch I made and then went to town.  Evelyn stopped at a consignment store to look for a shirt and returned some books at the library.  I also returned the broken tablet to the post office.  We then went to CVS and bought some Mucinex for Evelyn’s cough.  From there we went to the Rec center to work out for the first time in a week.  We met a new couple from Gulf Shores, AL who spend some of the summer at Pride Resort RV park.  I gave them a card with our email address.  I hope they contact us because we might have a good relationship with them.  We came home and I got the long handled tree trimmer from Gary to trim some branches that were able to cause damage to our roof and gutter spouting.  They were over 15 feet high and nearly fell on my head.  Evelyn walked with the other ladies in the loop before another bout of rain.  It has been a taxing summer.
