St Patrick’s Day activities
Mom took me to her church this morning. The pastor commented on it being St Patrick’s Day and asked if there was anyone who didn’t have green on.

When you have two women in the same house who love the same man and want to do him good, there can be a difference of opinion as to what that might be. After discussing things, it seemed best for me to move to Mom’s house and only be there for Dad as needed.

This morning, I texted with Wendy and she was doing well enough to have me come over. In fact, as Mark said later, other than the scarf on her head, she didn’t look sick. I was so happy to see her!
