Partly cloudy. Raining in PM and evening. Merrill went to day care despite himself. It took Denise and I both to get him ready. Elgan and Carmi called at noon. They are coming over Saturday the 24th. Esther called at supper time. Ken’s cataract operation went very well Wednesday. He can see perfect now. I called Jim. McGowan’s called late last night from Mt Rushmore. Jolie said it was an awesome place. They were almost across South Dakota. They would be in Montana tonight. Had run into high winds.
