I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi's Pies with Mimi and Reggie. Vanessa is still not recovered enough from her surgery to join uns. I hope she will be able to start up again next week. Yesterday I picked Annie up at home and took her to her pre-school at noon. I then drove Vanessa to her hair appointment to have her hair dyed. She still is not able to drive because of the pain pills she is taking. Maureen picked her up from her hair appointment, and a college-girl neighbor picked up Beech and Annie and brought them home. I now have the washing machine going with more laundry. Yesterday I finished reading The Economist from two weeks ago, so today I can start on the one from last week. I will try to get it finished before the new one comes tomorrow.
