2018 January 11 Thursday Normally Ella and I would go to the Over the Hill Gang on Thursday. However, with Ella in Iowa, I decided to go to the Leander Senior center instead.

2018 January 10 Wednesday Yesterday when I told Ella that she didn’t have many clothes in the hamper, she seemed surprised. Now I know why. She had more clothes on the floor on her side of the bed and in the shower stall. Being Wednesday it is Grandies day also. After Grandies was over IContinue reading “2018 January 10 Wednesday”
