I haven't posted anything recently, but have enjoyed reading what others have been sharing - quite a range of stuff - lots of rain in Virginia from Hanna, Sarah's new endeavor, great pictures from Lakeside and Tennessee etc. (After passing the place all those years, it was interesting to see inside Mystery Hill.) The blog site is beginning to accomplish what we hoped it might. I don't know how many are reading the postings, but I hope there will be more as time passes. I suppose you have noticed the Archives on the right where you can see what has gone before. If anyone who is reading this is not an author and wants to be an, let me know.

There's not much new to report from here. Looking forward to seeing Sally and Mike next week and Eileen and John next month. Mom seems to be relatively stable physically and mentally, although she has a bump and bruise on her forehead. To keep her from getting up on her own, her bed is kept as low as it will go. But she was on the floor in the night - probably tried to get up and may have bumped her head in the process. I took her outside after her lunch today, and we watched the men's US Open final after her dinner tonight. She always liked to watch tennis, and seemed to be watching the play this evening. In the morning and at noon I have been singing her to sleep (same old bedtime songs and some hymns). That doesn't always work after dinner. It didn't this evening. She was still awake, although pretty drowsy when I left. But the nurse usually comes about that time to give her medicine, and wakes her anyway.
