I have nothing at all to say other than it is a day with
no wind which is very unusual. I got one teeny little tomato that had fallen off the vine. I was surprised that
it had made the effort.

I had a wonderful shopping trip yesterday and was able to
get a lot of little clothes for Sara's baby. It was fun to
get out, however Ted was on the phone twice wondering what
we were doing that took so long. We left at 9:45 and didn't
get home until after five. I have never seen Rex sulk so
badly. He is used to Mom being home most of the time. I
will never believe Golden Retrievers are beautiful but
dumb because he manipulates us so sucessfully.


We ate lunch at Chica's and it was excellent. Mexican food
of course.

I have had such a time with Avis. She is losing it and it
really is time for her to go. Phyllis is pulling her
hair out because Avis can't find her trust documents. Since
Avis daughter is a hateful witch and they don't get along,
I suggested to Avis that she stay in her apartment and not
be with the family so much. She fails to see that having
another person in your house is usually a problem and
especially when they can't see or hear well, talk continually and keep repeating themselves. I also suggested
that she ups some of her personal things so her daughter's
apartment would feel like home. No such luck, Avis had
pinched pennies so long and this is a woman who sent 3 kids
to college, one to Harvard and has since saved half a
million dollars...she is unable to let go and I am seriously
worried that she isn't eating enough. I sent leftovers
from lunch home with her, and I will take something over
later in the day.

I have cleaned a lot today and have more to do. Have a
wonderful holiday.
