I just got off the phone with Hillah Francis who talked over an hour about her mother dyeing. Hillah was in her late nineties. I am still feeling a little drained from the talk. She is very meticulous about whatever she says. She was solving some of her problem by talking to me and I will call it a listening experience. If I was a counselor I would get payed to do this exercise. I did not know whether to offer our house for her reception. I did not want to do it without Rick's permission.

I am still working on Walker's picture album. I need to copy some more pictures and also buy more paper from Michael's. I also need to stop at Lime Tree to pick out some low key cards to send to Liz for our invitations for the Rehearsal dinner. I have to write to Ellen Jensen and also LL. Thomas who was Hillah's husband.

Yesterday afternoon was spent with Hallie getting the schedule of events ready for Walker's wedding. I was very bad at the hole punch part of the project. I was very glad when she took that job over and I tied the ribbons.

I put some pictures on the hard drive of the computer and want to add one here.
When looking through my pictures I found one of Rick siting at his desk working with a very relaxed Aiko on the desk. I want to add this one since it was intriguing. I don't remember taking it. I probably got a kick out of seeing Aiko so relaxed. He is Rick's companion and hangs out wherever Rick is.
