Lunch at Dot’s.

Friday, we hàd lunch at Dot's restaurant in Wilmington, with Mary Andersen-Nissem, her daughter, Erica's husband, Tom, and their two children, Julien and Claire. Erica had to stay in Capetown, SA, where they live. She was needed at work. I go back over 50 years with this family. I performed the wedding of Mary and her late husband, John, back in 1974; and then about 30 years later, I performed the wedding of Erica and Tom. I doubt that I will be around to serve in that capacity for Julian or Claire. We talked a blue streak at the table while we ate.

we had a really nice time together. Just as we were leaving, it started to rain. We stopped at the newly reopened Chelsea diner for ice cream. Yay! Saturday was hot and humid, we stayed home and stayed quiet. Sunday it was better lower humidity, so we went to church and read scriptures.

Reading scriptures at church. After church, there was a birthday party for Katharine Breunig, and Ellen made the cake. It was gluten-free and dairy- free, and posed a lot of problems, which kept Ellen up late Saturday night.
