Again, woke up and pulled up the quilt and turned off the fan. Got up and put on a bathrobe. Yay! It was really nice during the day yesterday, hot and sunny, but toward evening I sat outside and watched the chickens, who seemed much livelier when it wasn't too hot.

Ray and Molli and I sang in choir and listened to a service about immigration--sad and inspiring. It was not crowded, probably in part because of the holiday weekend, but several people enjoyed saying hi to Molli--and how great she looks! We drove to Thomas peaches and got the last of the year, as well as some brussel sprout plants for my Dad. He loves them, but hasn't grown them here; we'll see how it works.

Before dinner, we played hearts. After, we went to Buffalo's and played trivia. There were only 4 or 5 teams and we came in first! Not as wonderful as it would seem, because the prize was $35 in coupons to Buffalo's--which can only be used $5 at a time and expire in October. And they are not good on trivia night. There were still some questions which we could not answer. Two points apiece for naming the characters in Ghostbusters--we couldn't name one. He did give one point for naming actors, of which Ray managed 5. Our biggest loss was What foreign car company has a plant in Tennessee that's the biggest in the world? Ray and the Captain and Vanessa were sure it was Toyota, but it was Nissan. They put the maximum point value on that, so we lost 8 points. Molli and I didn't have any idea. One of the places we got ahead was by recognizing these song lyrics as being from Daydream Believer: "I rise, wipe the sleep out of my eyes, the shaving razor's cold and it stings..." We had beer and French fries and were home by 9:30. We were watching some TV, but I had to take myself to bed.
