HAPPY 4th

On July 1st, very promptly at 11:05 AM, my telephone appt. with SSA happened. They are proving to be very efficient. Now if my application goes as smoothly, I'll be happy.

On the same day, my nephew Paul, arrived for a break from his duties in the AF stationed at Nellis AFB in Vegas. One of his friends is at Ft. Meyer, VA. and agreed to take us on a walking tour of Arlington Cemetery on July 3rd. Other than 90 plus degrees, high humidity and old backs, legs and feet, we had a great day. His parents, Vicki and Larry, came along ( or should I say I went along with them) and they stayed the night and went to The Mall in DC for the all the craziness of DC on the 4th of July. This old lady decided not to tax my PARTS 2 days in a row. Yesterday, I drove up to their house in Cascade for a picnic with lots of family and friends.

Got home at 10:30 PM and about 11:30 Mike arrived home from Georgia, where he has been since February. I think he can't wait to get back down there already and says he'll probably go in October for the winter.

Tomorrow I start back to work on one of my least favorite things........stripping a laundry room of paper. Oh well, it's a job.
