11-7 Dancing at St. Catherine Nursing Home

We woke up with more grey and drizzle but it didn't stop us from staying busy. Larry put a coat of paint on his shoes while I was still sleeping. When I woke up we had breakfast. Flo has been cooped up in the house for days so this morning Larry decided to get her out of the house, we loaded her up into the car and off to town we went. We stopped at The Home Depot to buy gutter covers. We needed to get at least 70' of covers and they come in 3' strips. We had seen the covers in a five piece pack at Lowe's and we needed to get 25 pieces for the project. We found the covers in single pieces at The Home Depot but they didn't sell them in a pack. It would be much easier to handle them in packages so we decided to go to Lowe's but we didn't leave The Home Depot empty handed, we bought some weed killer. We had no problems finding the covers at Lowe's, they cost a few cents more but they were easier to manage and they would not get damaged. Now we need to get the rain to stop so we can install them. After lunch I worked on my puzzle and Larry put another coat of paint on his shoes.

Square Dancing at St. Catherine's Nursing Home
One of our friends (Judy) had asked us if we could help entertain the residents at St. Catherine's Nursing Home in Waco Texas. Her father is homed there and she thought it would be fun to show them how much fun it is to square dance, we agreed to help out. While we were waiting to go to Waco the rain came, it came down in buckets but we still went. We were asked to be there at 2:45 and it takes about an hour to get there so we left about 1:30. Judy had asked the ladies to dress in prairie skirts and the men could wear whatever they wanted. I wore a rose skirt with pink and white blouse. The last time I saw Judy's dad he liked my belly dance belt so I wore the rose one. The rain continued coming down. We had one square and Wendell Moore did the calling. We had fun and the residents loved it. We got back to the house at 4:30.

Watching Television
In the evening we watched YouTube videos and on PBS we watched Death in Paradise and The Detectorist, we also watched part of Saturday Night Live election special. I worked on my puzzle and played computer games until I went to bed. Suppose to rain again tomorrow.
