nothing too exciting


I was hoping for something fantastic to happen each day as we wind down to the time we return home.  Today about the only exciting thing to happen was to find the warning light come on in the car.  Of course this strikes fear into our hearts because this is our only mode of transportation to and from the Archives and also to get us back home to Arizona..  Turns out all we need is to put some gas in the car and the light will go out.  But then the gasoline prices have gone up and up and so we are strapped with the price as it is.  When the horse needs hay, go ahead and pay up!
So we went to Line Dance class and had a great time.  Even though each dance is only 2 to 3 minutes long, sustained bouncing around gets the heart rate up and gets the cobwebs out.  After all, we sit the entire day and that causes the whole body to go into torpor at best.
One of the instructors, Linda, is particularly funny.  I told her that someone wanted to know if I was a Nun and she just roared with laughter.  She said that she does not have happy memories of Catholic School or of the Catholic Church, but that she found this really funny that they thought I was a nun.
On the way home from dance class we went to the gas station that bill thought had the lowest price and found that it was just the same as the others – so we filled up and the car is very happy that we gave it a drink.  We also took a trip by WalMart and he got another cartridge of ink for the printer.  This printer was super cheap, but it goes through ink like there is no tomorrow.  Someone has to make up the difference for the company I suppose.  Saw a shirt with a Moose resting in a Hammock – gave some levity to the trip to WalMart.
