SKDL will be here for Margaret's birthday weekend. Bill flies in at 8 on Thursday evening and SKDL will arrive late the same evening. Bill will spend as much time with his mother as she is awake. Otherwise, he'll come over and be with the rest of us. Saturday, we'll go out for lunch and Lew and Kate will go to Vernon Powell to shop for Kate's birthday. SKDL will leave after an early dinner Sunday to return to Wyomissing and Bill will fly home on Monday.
Thursday, Aug 31 Bill’s flight was early, arriving at 1922. SKDL pulled in at 2245. At 2330, it’s 73.
Friday, Sep 1 Sal went running at 0615. At 0654, it’s 66 and everybody is up. Kate shared the Stanton 20th Reunion details and Lew and I cooked. SKDL went to the park and then visited a friend in the SU Chemistry Department. Later, Lew and SKDL went over and visited with Margaret and took her a cheesecake. We had pork spareribs, Sister Cities Slaw and shoestring potatoes for dinner. The boys watched a little of Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. After they went to bed, Kate, Sal and I watched Wonder Woman on Amazon. At 2230, it’s 64 and the forecast rain is passing to the south.
