Another lovely day. We had rain last night. I didn't hear it but there was enough that it even left a few puddles on the roadway. Very Welcome and we could use much more.

Loren and Mary did come by this afternoon and we had a catch up visit. They have moved three times since we heard from them last. Dick has their e-mail so we will hopefully be able to keep in touch from now on. They are now living in a remodeled farm house with three acres or so with her parents. They seem very happy as they always have been. They spent two years in St. Louis, Mary wanted to live somewhere warmer and was able to get a transfer within her company. They moved back to the Appleton area about 4 years ago. Boy time goes fast. Anyway, it was good to see them.

Dick and I left early this morning, had breakfast at Perkins (I got my raspberry muffin) and then proceeded on to Wingert's for corn so we could get out of Sheboygan Falls well before the Falls Fest parade. With the parade AND the torn up streets it would have been a nightmare.

The Packers were rotten last night. The only good thing about the evening was that I finished sewing the binding on a quilt that I have been working on for a couple of years now. It has a lot of greens and yellows and is bound and sashed in brown. Quite cheerful.

Tomorrow, Jim and Bobbie and I will go pistol shooting. Good thing. League starts in a couple of weeks and we haven't done much shooting for a while. Going to lose our edge if we don't get out there.

"May the blessing of light be with you -
light outside and light within."

Love

Mary
