MONDAY

. . . . .I enjoyed the drive through Portland when I visited Ben in the hospital this morning. Ben was very tired and sleepy, I am not sure he even recognised me but Jean was there and happy to see me. Ben had a serious heart incident a week ago and it is  very possible  he will never be ambulatory again. Ben is 88 years old and a wonderful story teller, a great guy to visit with when he's  feeling chipper. . . . . . It rained cats and dogs while I was driving through Portland but I never noticed any thunder or lightening, if it was not there it sure missed a wonderful chance. I was home by noon and spent the rest of the day in front of the TV with popcorn and apple slices.
