We had a successful morning; we got up and were up and running! Of course, coffee was the event that officially began the day because it starts our hearts beating. We worked in the office pounding the keys until we relocated to the kitchen for a quick breakfast.
We checked the RSVP log and sure enough, Dianne and Fast Eddie, plus Robin and Bob, are joining us for the 4th of July!

“I will fly in just after 1:00 pm!”
Today we are going across the street to say goodbye to our dear friend who passed away. His daughter, Pam, is hosting an “open house” and has invited many of his friends to a celebration of life.
Few people knew, but he and I were pretty close, and we had a lot in common! Our spouses passed away within a few weeks of each other. He and I were longtime ham radio operators; we both had multiple bypass heart surgeries; we were avid readers; we were about a year apart in age; and we both loved technology. Mary and I would visit him almost every day and generally bring him some of Mary’s cooking or something from the Elks Lodge. We are sorely missed!

RIP Dear Friend
