My plumbing problem was solved with little expense and a
total minimum of destruction. I was so afraid that we would
need to tear up tile but they went in under the bath room
vanity which required a lot of contortions. They didn't
track in stuff on the carpet and I was pleased and shocked
at how little they charged, so much so in fact that I wrote
a note complimenting them to the owner, Mr. Wiggy. I know
him because he has solved more than one rent house crisis
for me.

Ted has some new medicine and he felt well enough to go
to Adrienne's band concert last night. She got her two
year letter and an award for being an outstanding band
member. Her friend, Erika got one more award than she
did which I am sure is eating at Adrienne. They are best
friends and very competitive with each other.

We were very sad that the Assistant band director had to
be let go because of cuts to education. He loved the kids
and they loved him. He teared up making his farewell speech
and the kids and parents gave him a gift and a standing
ovation. That is the human side to all these cuts. People
are deeply hurt.

Have a good weekend.
