Danita tried the Roving Radish. She got two meat dinners. Each dinner has everything you need to cook, down to the spices. Food is locally sourced where possible. There is enough food for two nights with additional leftovers for a lunch or two. The ingredients are high quality. The cost is quite reasonable. One dinner was quite tasty. The other was OK.

I made progress with Mom’s I-Bonds, sort of. Mom wanted to send her paper bonds in to TreasuraryDirect so she could retitle them to be in her trust. I sent the bonds and waited 4 weeks as indicated by their website. At the end of the 4 weeks, I saw zeroes everywhere in her account. TreasuryDirect doesn’t accept Emails unless you have an open case. So I called as soon as they were open. I was rewarded with a wait time of only 45 minutes. The advisor verified the bonds were logged in June 10. He said I had to allow 13 weeks for processing. If 13 weeks doesn’t sound ominous enough, the end of the 13 week wait will be 9/11. <Queue ominous background music.>

I had my post-op eye exam from my cataract surgery. I passed. My vision is excellent. I could get progressive glasses with a mild correction and wear them all the time. Or I could get readers and spend my days wondering around looking for my glasses. I haven’t decided what to do.

We were planning to attend a Lurman Woodland Blues concert this evening. Unfortunately, the Blues band cancelled. They got a Rockabilly band instead, whatever that is. The probability of rain this evening seems to be going up. We decided to nix the concert. We had a nice neighborhood concert at the clubhouse last night, along with wine and cheese. It was a good time.

The big news is that Danita and her siblings decided that her dad, Bud, should move. He will be moving into BrightView. This is a lot closer to where we live. We think their program will be a good match for Bud’s Alzheimer’s. There’s mountains of paper work, evaluations, medical tests, and logistics. It’s a busy and stressful time for Danita.
