Molli is coming! On one of her crazy, work-related visits, she will be here for my birthday! Nothing but good times for 24 hours. We drive to Atlanta to pick her up at 2:42 Saturday (if she is on time), drive back to Athens, go out to dinner for my birthday, sleep, go to church and sing in choir, come home for a few hours, go to the choir party, go to sleep, get up and on the road by 3 am in order for her to make a 6 am flight Monday. But it will be so worth it. Fortunately, we do not have obligations this weekend, other than ones she will enjoy.

Yesterday, Ray met with the retirement counselor at UGA. He could retire (without penalty) in a year and a half. He will investigate some things and decide what he wants to do. If he waits longer, he will get more money. He is concerned that I will have enough to live on when he dies. We will be talking about it a lot.

I went to the Land Trust for a few hours, talked to Nancy some about my job, worked on the bike ride mainly. Went to Earth Fare for a few groceries, took Ray to the doctor. He has a sinus infection and amoxicillin will clear it up. They also prescribed medicine for his blood pressure. Must get back to exercising more.

We were home by 3, he went to bed. It was over 90, but the AC was fine. I finally ventured out about 5:30, cut some lettuce, pulled some radishes, watered the drooping cucumbers a bit. It is dry. Off and on over the last few days, we hear a few rumbles of thunder, I think surely a storm is coming, but nothing. Made a little salad, woke Ray up, went to potluck and choir. Brought Bill home, watched TV, fell asleep by 9:30, opened all the windows. Cool and damp this morning.
