Rainy days and Thursdays

It is raining and 59 degrees (15 C). We expect a high of 67 (19.4 C). Ah, the hot days of late July in Wisconsin!

We had been expecting Tom's foster son, John Sjaastad, and his family for a fly-by visit today on their way to Chicago, but it looks like it has been postponed until tomorrow. That's just as well for me, because Thursday is usually taken up with meetings and library volunteering. Also it gives us another day to get the house straightened up, although Tom (and Peter?) did a pretty thorough job yesterday.

We got an invitation to Quentin Foster's second birthday party in August. Quentin and his parents live a couple of houses down, and his grandparents live one house beyond that. Tom made it to the party last year, but I was working and that will be the case again this time. Matt and Jodi, Quentin's parents, are both big people -- not fat, but tall and big. He already looks like a four-year-old. Last year they wanted truck toys for him, but I will check to see if train things are allowable now.

And with that, I had better get in gear to hit the road.

BTW, some kind soul bought a book online. So nice!

Dd you know that Agatha Christie's books have sold about four billion copies?
