SUNDAY

Slept unti 8:00 and didn't go down for breakfast. Later, I went down and got a banana, which they usually have for the taking and had that. 

Mike Messaged me and we talked about Vivian's graduation; he'll be in Hawaii another four days. He said he'll send pictures of ex Paula and him with Vivian--good.

Lunch with Kathie, Keith, LaVerne and a newcomer: Kathie's friend, Agatha, newly arrived from Australia: 

                                                 

She and Kathie reminisced:

And here she is with the three of us (Keith came later):

It was kind of a game day later: played Bingo (not dime) at 2:00, then ran into Keith and Elaine, who were off to play Yatzee together. I joined them and actually won the first game.

Dinner with Kathie and Keith, then Elaine sat down with us. She's a pretty interesting person: five children, grandchildren, and nineteen great-grands, but I'm pretty sure she's younger than I am. She's very out-going, is an "ambassador" for The Orchard (unpaid assistant, I calls it), and I'd like to get to know her better. Enjoyed my now-only-weekly IPA with dinner, later had a bit of cream sherry, and slept well. Just got up at 6:15.

Incredible: Yesterday was Jeanne Dollard Painter's ninetieth birthday. Even more incredible: My twin sister's ninetieth is in December, so that makes me on the cusp--AAGH!
