The big focus these days is our upcoming trip to Turkiye. We have our packing lists set. We have watched several travel videos. I purchased airline seats with extra leg room. That is $6,500 cheaper than upgrading to business class. We leave on the 13th.

We visited Tony and Donna. Donna has moved out of her house and into Oak Crest (an Erickson community on the north side of Baltimore). Their house is on the market. Tony is still in rehab, also at Oak Crest. Tony’s keeping a positive attitude.

Bill & Tina threw a party. Bill is 80 years old. We got a tour of their new house, saw several people from circle, and also a ton of people we don’t know. Bill’s looking forward to his own travel, to Seattle, where he will visit with his daughter. He’s even flying first class!

Mom had a fall and sprained her back. All her chairs were swivel rockers that are hard on the back. Mom got a new lift chair. It made a big difference, letting her sleep in comfort and get out of the chair without pain.
