A Busy Week

This has been a particularly busy week for Bob and me, with activities winding down at our park and many people preparing to leave. On Sunday evening our choir and women’s chorus sang in a gospel variety show that featured an hour of solos, duets, and groups. It was a lot of fun.

On Tuesday I made food for two potluck gatherings, then attended a volunteer appreciation luncheon before driving to Costco to pick up my new hearing aid. I have a profound hearing loss in my right ear but fortunately the hearing in the left ear is normal so I only need one hearing aid. While there is a  period of adjustment, I enjoy being able to hear better in a crowd when a lot of people are talking. And I got to try it out that way because we had a neighborhood potluck that evening.

On Wednesday Bob returned to the vascular doctor who was pleased with his recovery. No more blood thinners required! That afternoon I went to another potluck, this one with the women of our Fiber Arts group.

On Thursday the park had its annual Craft Show where the various crafting groups show off the talents of their members. I demonstrated inkle weaving, which was very well received. Many people expressed an interest in learning how to do this so I may be able to teach a class next season.

We woke up this morning to a broken furnace/AC unit. Our 30 year old system had finally passed on. We were able to get a repair person to check it out first thing. Unfortunately, it is not an inexpensive thing to replace, but at least we’ll be getting a much more efficient system, better air quality, and we will be able to have two zones for heating and cooling. That will be a big improvement. The new system will be installed on Monday.

Bob has finished replacing the kitchen cabinet doors so I will post a photo next time.

We will be staying in the park until April 22 so that Bob can see his eye surgeon one last time. I think it will be rather nice to have three weeks with few activities. The gym is still open and Fiber Arts continues to meet two more times, which is nice.
