It was cloudy, 61 degrees, and a little on the humid side when we left the house for our walk. After being on the run for the past two days, we thought we would have a nice quiet day at home to get some laundry done along with some other chores.

After breakfast, John worked on the golf cart still trying to figure out why the batteries won't charge. While we were in Uvalde on Monday, we dropped the charger off with a guy who works repairing golf carts. He called and told John that the charger is fine, so the problem must be with the cart. He rechecked the wires once again, and replaced a couple connectors. We'll have to wait until we get the charger back and see if what he has done corrected the problem. While he was working on the cart, Jan called with an SOS--her kitchen sink was leaking. John ran over to her house, worked his magic, and stopped the leak; however, a new faucet is needed.

The sky cleared off by mid-morning, so after lunch John and I headed down to the Par 3 to play some golf. We had just finished the 2nd hole, when Stan Metcalf called and asked if we would like to take a run to Eagle Pass and the Lowe's store with him and Jan. We said "yes" and that we would be ready to leave after we finished our game. Sam Lark hailed us as we were playing the 4th hole, and asked John if he could help with another project. John told him he would stop over this evening when we got home.

The Metcalf's picked us up and we were off to Eagle Pass and Lowe's. After much discussion, we all finally agreed on the right faucet for Jan's sink. John picked up a few other supplies needed for installation and then we were off to Fuddruckers for supper. This was our first time eating there and I must say we will definitely be trying it again. They served one delicious hamburger.

We got back home around 7:30 p.m. and John headed over to Sam's to get the details settled for their next project--moving and setting up a bed for folks who will be arriving on Friday. John returned from Sam's with a bag full of fresh oranges--his neighbor brought them back from somewhere in Texas. We ended our "quiet" day watching some college basketball--hopefully tomorrow I will finally get some chores done.
