We had good visits with Steve and then with Maureen and Scott. I had expected Steve later on Sunday, but he drove to Marysville on Saturday, so he came here early Sunday afternoon. We had dinner at 4:30 and then went to see Mom. We stayed with her until 7:00 - watched the Gaither show with her. It was bluegrass Gospel music, a combination I wouldn't have expected to like, but did. Vince Gill was the most well-known (to me, anyway) person who performed. I had seen the Isaacs before and liked them. We visited some after that. His original plan was to come back the next morning for a while, then he and Pat were going to meet up with Maureen and Scott Monday evening. Tropical storm, Fay, changed all that. They got up early and headed for Georgia, wanting to be closer to Naples in case the storm became a hurricane and there might be damage they would want to deal with there. But they had talked to their neighbor who said there was a lot of rain, but no storm surge. The wind was blowing the water away from the land.
Maureen and Scott got here a little after 3:00 Monday. We went to dinner at 4:30, expecting to eat with retired Air Force Colonel David White, a veteran of WWII and Vietnam (he was there at the same time Scott was) but he had a chemo-therapy treatment (for lung cancer) earlier in the day and told me later he was pretty well washed out and didn't come to the dining room for dinner. Also, the people in the dining room were surprised again when I showed up with two guests. I think that's the third time it's happened. Communications sure need to be improved among staff members. We went to see Mom and stayed to watch "Funniest Pets and People" as I have been doing on week nights. They came back this morning and visited for a while before heading for Lakeside.
