Visit from the Pierces

Lee, Shelby, and Allen came by to visit Dad today. He was overjoyed to see them.

Dad's 87th

Joanne and I celebrated Dad's birthday a day early on Sunday, with Douglas and Heidi and Jo's sister Stacey. Eleanor at Dad's table thinks he's a kid.

Happy Father's Day!

Talked to Dad this afternoon on the phone. He declared himself to be "happy as a clam." Well, good.

Garden weather!

As most readers of this blog know, Dad was very frail for quite a while after contracting the flu in April. He's now back at the Mary Wade Home, and after a scare at the end of the month, when he wasn't eating or drinking, he's coming back nicely. He spent an hour in the beautiful Mary Wade garden this morning with Martin, a high school volunteer, and we had some milk and Ensure while waiting for lunch. Visitors are most welcome, particularly May 16-June 19, when I'll be out of town on a fellowship.

Ice cream

Joanne thought she was taking a snapshot.  So much the better.

This was taken on March 18.
