I finished the church website: norwayuu.org

I’m still having a hell of a time sleeping.

My Colitis is under control I think, with the meds, but last night I had a sour stomach.

I read “Cutting for Stone” by Abraham Verghese. Very exciting long novel.

I read Julian Barnes’ “The Sense of an Ending”. It won the Man-Booker prize this year. John Kelly recommended it to me.

I read “The Children’s Book” by A.S. Byatt. A beautiful long book. I fell in love with the characters.

Before that, I read “The Sea Lady” and “The Needle’s Eye” by Byatt’s sister, Margaret Drabble. Both very good.

The house is being painted. Same color as Cynthia originally picked out. Already looking great.

Our bench finally gave out. Kate and Don bought me a new one. Looks great.

Scheduled to climb Pleasant Mountain this Saturday, the 23rd, with Phyllis and dog Abby. Bought some “Off” today for the Ticks.

I planted two German Johnson tomato plants over a week ago. Today I bought some liquid fertilizer.
