I was happy to get a call from Lora and we talked and talked. She went into some detail about her son's death and I was glad of that. Not only did I want to understand the whole scenario, but I know she needs to talk about it--I understand that completely. She also invited me to come visit her in Arizona--"you and your daughter"--and boy, I'd love to. We'll see--maybe.
Ellen called and we brought each other up to date. As Jim's birthday is tomorrow and she isn't available then, we had tentatively planned on seeing him on Wednesday, but she has a doctor's appointment and it would have had to be squeezed in. Instead, we decided I'd get the Access Van for tomorrow and we'll just meet for lunch on Wednesday.
Went over to Von's for paper towels and veggies. I then packed my lunch and my book and went out to the middle to enjoy it. By that time, it was two o'clock and it was very quiet--reasonably warm, a little breezy, but with the glorious sun:
Did some household chores, then planted the pretty yellow tulips El had given me for Easter. After a color wash, I made a turkey stir-fry; had a third for dinner and froze the rest for two more meals.
I toyed with the idea of calling somebody to meet for lunch today, but decided against it. I think I'll just play it by ear--maybe walk down to Smart 'N' Final or bus to town--whatever.
Note: The Sunday crossword was a stinker--obscure references which annoyed me no end. However, I got most of it.
