Today was supposed to be the big barbeque out by the pool. We had invited Peggie Plylor and her husband to come with us, but the sun never did come out and the forecast wasn't good, so it was served in the dining room instead. It was nice, but noisy. We had a good visit with the Plylors, and then afterward she visited me as a visiting teacher from church. We have talked briefly to all three of our daughters. Karen got back from San Fransisco in time to have her blood work done, so she can have her new pace maker put in tomorrow. Terry will drive her down to Scripts Hospital to have it done. We would like to, but I guess that time has passed for us. Carla is sending us a sample of carpet that she has used in her apartments, and I'm sure we can get it here and laid as soon as we get the painting done in our house. This carpet is at Home Depot, and that's near the house. Kaye had a good time last night at her Writers' Group. It sounds as though she has completely recovered from her trip down here. I'll be glad when we move up closer to them. I haven't talked to Karen yet, about our going up to Arroyo Grande shortly after they have moved up there. I hope we can sell the house by then. I'm slower to get over the pneumonia this time; my strength is slower to come back. But things are looking up for us, and I'm sure it won't be long until it does.
