A comparatively quiet day and an absolutely gorgeous one. We found temperatures as high as 58 this afternoon and it is supposed to get up to the mid 60s tomorrow.

We went grocery shopping this morning. I DID get to sleep until 6:15AM which is quite a change from yesterday's 5. I slept well too. Tuesday night was awful. But I woke quite rested this morning.

After we got home, I started packing and getting things ready for tomorrow's trip. At 1PM I had my teeth cleaning appointment with my new dentist office. That went very well and I was home by about 2:30PM. Then Dick and I went to Hunters Glen to run the water and check out things at the house. Everything looks really good. Hope we get some lookers this weekend as it is supposed to be beautiful.

We had ham for supper, with roasted potatoes, veggies and salad.

Tomorrow I have to be at Valley View at 9:30AM for my shot of radioactive dye and then back at 11:00AM for the pictures of my heart. I can glow green on my way to Celtic Conference, seems appropriate.

Brenda reminded me of Limburger (Stinky) cheese in an email. It reminded me of two incidents in my life.

When I was little I would go to church often during the week with my Grandma Deeley who lived right across the street from St. Mary's. (I may have told you this.) After church, I would join her for breakfast and we always had cheese. One time she wanted to give me limburger, but Aunt Helen wouldn't let her so I never ate it. Mother never did have it.

Later when I was in the Johnston Family, Aunt Ruth and Aunt Lib (my mother in law Lily's sisters) used to eat it. I think they got the taste for it from Grandma Anna Eisman, their mother. (Must be a German thing.) Every once in a while, the sisters would get some Limburger and have a binge. They always said that the trick was to get the first bite down. then it tasted good. Frankly, if it smells that bad, I kind of wonder WHY. But Dick and Brenda have apparently decided the same thing.

Remember, I will be gone until Sunday Night. I hope you miss me, but not too much.

Love

Mary
