A lovely birthday went by. We had pancakes and maple syrup, a short walk on the trail, and went to the Fellowship to sing and have people greet Molli. Then we went home and had Salade Nicoise and strawberry daiquiris. It was a beautiful day, cool and sunny and breezy.

After lunch, Molli and I drove to the rehab center to see Bertha. Janna was there, too. It was very hard for Molli and she found the whole visit hard, in that time is going by, and people are getting older and less healthy. People at the UUFA that used to be children are grown; people she knew are not here any more. Life is kind of sad, sometimes.

We came home, picked and shelled peas, and she ate some more of them! Ray and Molli made macaroni and cheese and we headed to the choir party, where there were lots of people and good food and drink. She got to visit with some people she likes (and so did we). We left about 8:30 and came home so Molli could pack and we could all go to bed early. We did have to spend a little time sitting together and watching TV.

At 2, Ray and Molli got up and drove to the shuttle, which took her to the Atlanta airport and back to Mexico. I was awake off and on, but generally got to sleep while Ray did the work. It was a lovely visit and I already miss her a ton.
