Two good visits today.

Charles and Mabel are coming down to visit us today. Russ and I got sandwiches and drinks and ice cream for lunch here at home. They arrived about 11, and we had a nice visit and lunch. Charles is still singing with the So. Ca. Mormon Choir, but he and Mabel decided not to go to Europe with them this summer. They have been with the Choir on many trips there, and it is too tiring at our age. Linda and Rich are in Alaska on a tour now. That's one of the places I have no desire to see. To avoid the home-going traffic later, Charles and Mabel left for home about 2p.m. I think that's a good idea. L.A. traffic can be deadly that time of day. At 4 Karen came for me in her Jaguar, and we went to visit Lorraine Pepper. She and Karen like to go on the same sort of trips, and this time Lorraine and her sister are going on the same boat trip down the Danube that Terry and Karen went on last summer. And Karen and Terry are going on a trip to New England and Canada this fall, the same that Lorraine went on two years ago!
