Hot, but weather due to change today: rain and we need it.

Went to a meeting yesterday morning and hobnobbed with our State Representative, Keith Heard. Went to the grocery store to stock up for the Shelter. Had another vendor come and look at the gross floors to give us an estimate for cleaning and waxing. Followed up on a request from our insurance agent for more paperwork for dental.

Went to the pool. It felt good when I jumped in, but got less comfortable after a while. The Captain and Vanessa went to a bridge party, so Ray and I had dinner alone. We talked some about our goals and plans for the future--and then watched TV. Maybe when he retires, in about 10 years, we will try to sell this house and move around some, getting rid of all our stuff and renting a place here and there, visiting family, working in the parks...what do you think?

Cameron (the dog) is still lame. He is fine for about 5 minutes, then starts limping. He doesn't seem to be in pain; my father can't find any sign of injury, he doesn't flinch when you handle his foot or leg. It's like he suddenly remembers he's supposed to walk on three legs...and then he will suddenly forget again. I expect if we take him to the vet, they will want to x-ray it and I will be reluctant to spend money on a dog's mysterious injury.
