Had a great time in Ventnor yesterday visiting with Frank and Marybeth, Patrick and Susan. We went down to walk on the beach, had fried chicken and potato salad for lunch that Lee, Susan's mother, had brought down, and just generally hung out. Saw pictures of their honeymoon that Patrick had on his computer and discovered they had stayed at the Peninsula in Bangkok, as Mike, Paula, and I did last year.
Later, Lee and Susan's father, Charlie, came down and we were pleased to have Lois and Carol, George W.'s sisters, stop over. I hadn't known that Lois actually introduced Frank and Marybeth so many years ago in California. It got a lot cooler, so was very comfortable. I called Pat 3 times, and he was fine. He said that John, Ray and Barbara's son, had stopped in, and he enjoyed seeing him. Pat also went to the bay--his every afternoon jaunt--and saw a boat race that a little disorganized, he said, but fun to watch.
Was glad to get our usual Sunday call from Ellen and we discussed the heat in California. She said she couldn't even remember it hotter in Ventura and, of course, there's little A.C. there. Could this be part of the global warming thing? Hope to see "An Inconvenient Truth" soon.
Must get dressed and ready for exercise. Susan and I are going to see "The Devil Wears Prada" today; tomorrow, Pat and I are planning to visit Bill and Regina.
