Another partial account of a week’s activities

Tuesday, The first week of April is a blur.  We had no choir on Wednesday because Bonny was gone.  Since Joe was home, we invited him for dinner.  We then watched the first of the Bible series.  He had not seen many of the series.  We enjoyed it as our Lenten service.  Friday we had planned to take Janice to see God’s Not Dead, but yesterday, Don said he was too busy to go.  When Janice called to check on our date, she spoke to him and he changed his mind.  We met them in Harlingen at a Cinemark theater after losing our way.  We all loved the Spiritual uplifting provided by the film.  The Lord has provided a powerful witness to His existence.  Afterward we went to a local Ihop and enjoyed some delicious pancakes containing walnuts and almonds.  Saturday I played golf with the Lutheran men’s golf league at Tierra Santa.  I had called Dan from our worship service at Trail’s End who brought another friend.  It was a cloudy cool day and I had a good time and played fairly well.  Dan invited us to a small supper at his house after we finished, but Evelyn had vomited just before I came home and didn’t want to go.  She wanted me to go and I did.  They were disappointed I had come alone and sent a bowl of soup home with me.  We didn’t eat it until Sunday.  We had a moving service on Sunday and 23 were there.  At least 6 of our people plan to leave before next Sunday.  We came home and ate Evelyn’s rendition of the soup sent yesterday for her.  Evelyn made it delicious, not that it wasn’t before.  I thought we would have a couple come for popcorn but they couldn’t.  We spent the evening alone.  Monday morning I joined 3 other Gideons to replace Bibles at the Victoria Palms motel.  I was finished and was able to pick Evelyn up from the Silver Sneakers she had attended.  We found some orange juice at the HEB and came home for more delicious soup.  I tried to go to The Palms to play golf with the Trail’s End group, but there was a high school tournament that caused us to go home.  Evelyn and I went to get the trailer and brought it home.  We were told by Christian that they were on the way from Dallas.  We had trouble getting the trailer to connect to the car but got it home anyway.  We just left the car and trailer in the street overnight.  I scrubbed the top as Evelyn wanted and then worked with the trailer hitch.  A couple came walking by and we jiggled around until we connected the 2.  He suggested that it might be easier to connect if I turned the hitch over making it lower.  I will try to do it tomorrow.  Evelyn was able to watch the episode of Dancing with the Stars.  Tuesday I attended the park meeting of those still in the park.  There were 2 intense arguments at the meeting as well as some warnings about break ins in other parks.  I took the trailer and filled the tires with air.  I wanted to put grease into the trailer axels, but the grease gun is broken.  In trying to get some information, I was stuck on a small hill between our parks because I did not have enough power to get up a small hill in my golf cart.  A young couple helped me push it up.  I charged it up and then took the car to a man who had 2 pipe wrenches.  He was able to loosen the towing ball so I could turn the hitch over.  I parked the trailer in our drive and the car in the neighbor’s drive.  They have returned to Alberta.  We can begin loading our trailer after cleaning the interior.  Joe and Bonny could not come to dinner that Evelyn had prepared for them during the day, so we invited Paul and Donna Zopfi for the same meal.  We played some Phase 10  after dinner.
