Mombo and I started the day together at Sacred Heart Church where Fr. Pat Dolan said one of his instructional Masses. Afterward James and Susan took Mombo home so that I could go to Danville and meet Jerry at the breakfast bar at Shoney’s. We caught up with conversation and then went to the Peddler’s […]

I was up early to go to the eye doctor in Versailles. Then back to KR to clean up, get decorations for reception together, etc. Brendan and Kara took me into Richmond to meet Jerry for dinner at Outback, and we caught up on the past few months while BCA and KN returned the shoes […]
