A Busy Day Outside The House

 Yesterday was cool and cloudy with some rain. The high got to 16C. This morning it is cloudy, windy, and 13C. Today we are supposed to have rain this morning and showers this afternoon. The high is supposed to get to 18C. 

Lifestyle

I was out first thing to make sandwiches at daughter-in-law's house. We were done in an hour and then she and I sat and chatted for a bit. We then left with all the supplies and went to the hall. We covered the tables holding the food with plastic table coverings. 

Once home, I rested as I was tired. I even went to bed for a couple of hours as I was going to be out late helping at the bar at the wedding at the community hall. It was good to rest before being so busy in the evening. 

The wedding reception was very interesting. I was out 3 times to the liquor store and to two grocery stores to find limes. We served a lot of liquor but they had a no drive policy; a taxi was on call. 

This group of people are dancers. Before people started going home, they had a circle dance which they all knew the steps. While they do the steps, people will go into the center and dance. Even a 6 year old took part. This is the first wedding I have seen since moving here. I will see more weddings this summer. 

I helped do some clean up. I gathered up dirty bar glasses and some dishes. I ran three loads through the commercial dishwasher making sure all the hall's dishes were clean. I left one tray for daughter-in-law to do when the rest of reception was over. 

I got some sleep but was up with leg cramps during the night. The cause was being so busy for 2 days. I will survive it with a day or two of resting. 

Son and grandson are keeping us updated daily. They attended a soccer game last night and said the first half was great. They have shown what parts of Montevideo look like. Grandson's promotional video has been handed around to a lot of people and he has been invited to train 2 days a week with a higher level team starting July 1. We wait and see where that takes him in the world of soccer. 

Today

I am resting a lot today and drinking a lot of fluids. I hope to work on the apron and try to knit tonight. I know I won't be a ball of fire but I don't want to do nothing. I do know it will be an early night tonight. 

Until the next time..........................................................
