2986

Got a call last night from LL. She was just checking in--it was good to hear her voice. She's thinking about making a trip to Hawaii. I told her that I may have some old frequent flier airline mileage that could be used to acquire tickets. I'll have to check on that--it's been a while since I've looked at that information.

I was up a bit early this morning, but now it's late in the afternoon and the day has blown away.

I don't recall what my dreams were about from last night. I believe that I dreamed, but not very lucidly perhaps.

I finished the L'Amour short stories--like a bunch of shaggy dog tales that are mostly just entertaining. His family maintains his legacy and is still releasing old materials that have been edited and restored from his files. He was extraordinarily prolific and apparently kept voluminous notes on everything he ever researched or drafted. His estate appears to maintain over 100 of his books in print--with over 260 million copies in reader's hands!

The grandkid's grandmother arrived and the tribe just had dinner. I hadn't eaten much today so the dinner, although light, tasted good. Cucumber salad from the garden was the key item. There was a roasted chicken that was especially delicious.

My daughter has harvested a pile of cucumbers from the overflowing number of plants in the garden. She's making pickles and relish from the bountiful crop. Beets look like they'll be next, followed by a corn crop.
