I have been waiting for my sister and my cousins to come and
be taken out to lunch but Jackie flew in from California last
night and is having a problem with jet lag. She is also a
late sleeper since she retired. Ted has gone to bed because
he is feeling sick. This leaves me in limbo.

I have misplaced the last few books that I bought and now I
am craving more Susan Howatch. Her books are riveting and
totally absorbing. I thought she was dead but she is alive
and well in London and still writing. I just finished The
Rich Are Different and even though it was my second time to
read it, I couldn't put it down. Her villeins are especially
vile and her heroines and heroes are just realistically soiled so it makes for good reading. The books that she has
written about the Anglican church are unbelievably good.

Our big screen tv is going out, my cell phone is dead and the
computer is not acting right. Why all at once? We may wait
for Mike to help us install a new tv. Ted is useless and some one has to help. If David is around we can do it.
Electronic devices are wonderful until they fail.
