Dani and Gayle came down to visit with Mom for a few days. They were a tremendous help for Mom. Flying out of Bangor, ME is a mess. They had three flights both coming and going. I had to get up a 4:00 AM Thursday to get them to the airport on time. It was somewhat less than a terrific that I didn’t turn off the alarm. It announced it’s presence again at 4:00 AM Friday. Danita had a heck of a time getting me to wake up and turn off the alarm.

Friday we got Mom’s rug back from the rug cleaners. It came out looking fantastic. I put the rug in the kitchen and taped it to the floor. I was just putting the kitchen table on the rug when the Occupational Therapist came in. She suggested we tape the rug to the floor. Bang! ALREADY DONE! Woo.

Danita and I plan to attend a play at Howard College tomorrow. It sounds like fun.

The big news is coming soon. Danita and I are taking a tour of Portugal. We leave May 10 and return May 30. We’re traveling with Road Scholar. We take a land tour from Lisbon to Porto, then a river boat cruise down the Douro river.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
