We ate at Mangos with the Senior couples after which we went to the Hibiscus Parade. It was awfully crowded and hot. We found a nice spot near the end of the parade but after watching for about 30 minutes everyone had had enough.
As we were walking back to the car, we got separated from Sisters Newsome and Limburg. I told everyone to go ahead and I would start back looking for them. In about 5 minutes I found them. The sisters had gotten caught in a human traffic jam and had not been able to break through for quite some time. As we were walking back to the car, Sister Newsome started looking in her purse for something and realized that her wallet was missing. We turned around and began to look for it. When we hit the human traffic jam again, she decided that it had be stollen and we turned around to head back to the van. What a disappointment to have one's wallet stollen.
We attended the baptism of three of the Johnson family that did not get baptized two weeks ago: Lucelle, Valerie, Gabrielle. The YSAs sang the Folo Fola song and there were about 20 of them. After the baptism we all went to the institute for activity night. Few YSAs came even some of those that sang did not come. Everyone went downtown to celebrate the last night of the Hibiscus Festival. We had about 15 in the institute. Chaya, Rex and the kids left early. Robert stayed till we closed at 9:00 p.m.
It was interesting that on the way to the baptism Robert asked if I was fixing a roast for dinner tomorrow. I had not. In fact, I was going to make beef stroganoff. He was so disappointed when I explained that the butcher shop closes at 2 o'clock on Saturdays and so a roast was out. "Could we have meatloaf, then?" he asked. I did have hamburger in the freezer, so we will have meatloaf if I can get potatoes before MH closes. It is nice to be missed even if it is for ones cooking.
