Monday

We had a good drive last night. I had a hamburger happy meal for supper. I didn't feel like eating a lot and I could get apple slices instead of french fries. I like the toy too. They gave me a My little pony which I will put in an Operation Christmas Child box.

We are going to have lunch with my brother, our nephew(his son) and our nephew's wife. My brother has very recently divorced and there are very mixed emotions still. It will be interesting to learn how my nephew and wife are doing. He is an engineer in another city and she is a labor and delivery nurse. He has been out of school less than a year. They bought a new house and a new car and seem to be doing well.

Later today the three of us are going to see an old friend and spend some time together. He called my brother yesterday and told him he had learned that his mother, who is a widow in her 80's has leukemia. Life has not been particularly fair to this friend. He lives with him mom and had made a poor choice in selecting a wife. He is divorced with two teenage daughters. The majority of his income goes to the kids and his ex. Bill is a really nice person though and I will enjoy seeing him again.

For now, I think I'll go out on the deck and enjoy the nice morning temperatures.
