Jul arrived Thursday. She took the kids to DC Thursday and Friday. They had a good time in spite of the tremendous heat. I was surprised at how popular the National Archives were. Both B & E were excited to visit. Jul got timed-entry tickets, which was a good thing because the line to get in was hours long. The Reeds were set to go home today, but last night E came down with a stomach virus.

Fortunately, Jul was fast with the recycle bucket. They decided it would be unwise to fly home today. Southwest is very flexible about changing flights, even on short notice, but they require that passengers pay the fare for the new flight time. Jul had the choice of going back Sunday for a hefty upgrade price, or waiting until Tuesday afternoon. She wisely decided to wait. Her total extra cost was $15. We don’t have a wood pile any more, so I’m preparing a spot for them on the back porch (LOL).

Danita and I are still going to the neighborhood dinner and concert this evening. There’s plenty of food in the house for Jul and the kids. Danita took Brian to the used book store, where he picked a book for himself and one for Elizabeth. For now, the kids prefer to watch their tablets.

Tuesday evening our condo is holding a “town hall meeting”. Our lawyer will be present. They’ll be going over the lawsuit settlement. High attendance is anticipated.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
