I woke up to rain about 30 minutes ago, which made me very happy. I went around and closed the windows (upstairs, anyway) and by then it had stopped, sadly, so I don't think there was a measurable amount.

I am doing well. My ankle was wrapped most of the day. It is kind of achy now, and I can't wait to get back to my regular walking. No exercise for over a week!

My Dad arrived before 7:30 and had breakfast, so we got some gardening in while it was cool and pleasant. I picked a lot of peas again.

Ray and I left. He dropped me off at a long OLLI class on choices for living at the end of life: Talmage Terrace, St. Mary's alzheimer's unit, Skilled Nursing care, and how to pay for them: Long Term Care insurance, Medicare, and VA benefits. Lots of good information, although not particularly entertaining. Free lunch and two notepads and a key ring. I have the latest rates for Talmage Terrace and have a clearer understanding of Medicaid and VA benefits, as they might applly to my Dad.

At home, I shelled the peas and ate them and some asparagus, as well as the leftover shrimp and potatoes and spinach. I think we have finished the spinach now. Lettuce is bolting too.

Ray went to the Democratic Committee board meeting and I left for a 7:00 meeting at the Fellowship. Six of us are being "installed" Sunday as lay ministers, but we aren't sure what that involves because it is a new program here. We have to make a statement about why we chose to become lay ministers. At the moment, mine starts with, "I have no earthly idea. Honestly..."

It was about 9:30 when I got home and we watched one TV show and went to bed, but it took me a while to fall asleep.
