Autumnfest

Thursday

I got up at 7:30. I got ready for the day and prepared fiber gel. At 8, the doorbell rang. It was a very tall gentleman wanting a sample of my tap water. He filled a container and we talked about arsenic in the water. I offered to send him a copy of the tap water report that I had done a month ago, and he wrote down his e-mail so I could send it.

After he left, I read some e-mail. Then I took my Bible to the chapel. 4 ladies were already there for Bible study. We read the 4th chapter of John. Then Janet gave each of us a topic from the chapter and 10 minutes to write down a few sentences about what we thought or could find out. We were allowed to use our phones, but since I don't allow my phone on the internet, I relied on my Bible, which thanks to Ginger had very good notes at the bottom of each page.

After the study, I stopped at the post office for mail, then went home to hydrate. I went to Mary's house to clean floors for an hour. Then I went home for breakfast and to watch The Highwire. I took time out to lay out in the sun.

I paused The Highwire and went back to cleaning. I used the floor polisher and it really did a good job. I also mopped the walls and scrubbed the outside of the front door.

Chris texted me just before 5, so I went home and put on my bathing suit. I put bags of bags in my car and went to the chapel to park. I picked up the bags and walked to the gym where they were having Autumnfest. I gave the bags to Steve who is collecting them for a charity downtown. I talked to people here and there. The chaplain wants us to play Trust and Obey on Sunday so I found Saronna and Keli and asked if they could do it. They said yes. I ordered a burger. I ate the meat without the top bun. Then I checked out the chili contest. I sat down with 5 tiny sample entries to try and compare them. I gave Michelle the money for the dress etc from yesterday. I talked to more people, and listened to the band. I watched the pie-eating contest and the stein-holding contest. I requested the band to play Sir Duke, but they weren't prepared.

It was after 8 when I walked back to my car and drove home. Two ladies had asked for the water report, so I sent them. I worked on my blog and made tea. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. Chris went to bed, but I stayed up to read e-mail. Then I went to bed.
