Back to normal.

Monday was light in that we went to the rec center after we unpacked the rest of our suitcases.  Evelyn walked with the neighbors in the evening.  I had made a plan to play golf with Jack Churchill, so he came to get me at 8.  I then remembered that Mike, the owner of the course, Has not been getting there until nearer 9, so we stopped for a breakfast sandwich before going on to the course.  I have not been able to make much improvement in my game but seem to still have fun.  I think I would quit if I didn’t have so much invested in clubs.  Evelyn worked on her Bible study during the day.

Tuesday was our next to last day at the hospital.  I was disappointed to learn that gumbo had been served yesterday for the lunch.  I think about it almost every Tuesday when we work.  I had a few people to transport and had fun with them, but in all the day was a bit too warm and dull.  Evelyn had another day that was off and on in activity.  I had to go to her floor to get some coffee, and that may have been the most exciting thing in her day.  We came home and rested just before going to the Kobe restaurant with the people of Cypress Meadows.  I think we were each thinking the meal would be one that we didn’t like.  We were wrong.  We shared chicken and shrimp dinner that was both cooked and tasty.  We had taken Joretta with us, but she came home with Doris.  Doris had taken Dianne, but her daughter and friends from Florida had arrived to surprise her, so she would have returned alone.  We walked across to the GO grocery and bought some things for our upcoming party.

Wednesday we had follow up appointments with Dr. Lafata.  He is very affable but questionable in his medical prowess.  We found our triglycerides were under control, but Evelyn thinks I am coughing an inordinate amount of times during the day and night, so he changed a prescription to combat the cough.  He also wondered whether I wanted another CT scan.  I had tolerated one in each of the past 2 years because a chest X-ray in Texas had showed some small nodules on a lung.  He joked with us and bought several tickets for the German dinner.  We left and came home before going to choir.  We leave early because the choir are beginning to rehearse for Christmas.  We looked around for some heavy buckets to hold the signs for the dinner.  We are in charge of making them and placing them.  We didn’t find what we wanted but did find some brown butcher paper to use for making them.  We brought them home and cut them to size.  We had gone into town to get the gate with some steel stakes added to them but couldn’t find anyone there.  We did find some rigid old campaign signs and had brought them home.  We used some old artists paint and I painted them after Evelyn had sketched them with pencil.  She is quite good at that and other artistic endeavors.

Thursday Evelyn had a Bible study (her next to last for the season), and I went to play golf with Marty.
