Raymond reports we had 2 1/2 inches of rain last night. I remembered to give him Tylenol and he slept a little, but he can't get out and roam in the woods today so he's stuck with me in the house.

I worked in my room and at 8 found him in bed. He advised that I should not stay up all night. I asked if he thought 10 was too late. (I hope you're smiling at this.) Bless his heart.

Some apple salad and a lovely cream pie appeared at our door. Raymond was delighted. The apple salad was as good as the potato salad and it came from a neighbor also. I predict smiles on Raymond's face in the future as these neighbors treat him to a dish now and then.

Loved ones are joining us this morning for coffee. There might be a piece of cake left to share.

Devona's daughters are busy using their creative skills for the service. It is helping them focus their pain. Dennis's Rayanne is taking finals and my daughter is planning to fly in this weekend. We're keeping busy. We had a lovely day selecting flowers yesterday for the service. The sisters had lunch and Devona and Sharon found the perfect "Betty" bouquet. I hope you agree. They worked hard.

I so want to visit with each person who joins us this weekend. You've been faithful readers. Betty has over 7,000 hits on her blog. That's love.
