Up and in to IG about 7:30. Becky, Cindy, Dave, Craig, Sue, Shirley and I played until 10. I gave flowers to Belinda at 412 on Second street. I called and registered for golf on Monday. Alan texted and said he could be my partner for pickle ball on next Saturday. :) Denny was painting the south side of the Cabin and west side of the Bunk house. We/ He really cleaned. The house looks great. We're looking forward to Schrums coming tonight. I straightened the bunk house. We had corndogs for supper, Denny worked to get meat and onions ready to smoke, and then we went to IG for some groceries. Nice day.
