Wednesday, February 26, 1986

 

A nice day. I didn’t do very much. Odds and end jobs. I went down to Betty’s to see the living room. It look so nice. It is very attractive and especially that bathroom. Milan and Betty called. I got ready, we went down to see Billie. He is just the same, he may have this foot operated on tomorrow. Carmen called tonight and had a midnight lunch. She was so tired, headache. She also told me she had a job two hours a day for six weeks in Naples typing and completing work. Dennis is better, he comes to see her as much as possible because of the cats. She is going to give them away.

A beautiful day, clear and sunny. It was on the chilly side last night. I have been busy today. Watched some of my shows. Milan here, Dorothea called. Betty and I down to see Billie tonight. Eddie and Kim here this PM. Glad to see them. They worked on Billie’s toe this morning. Bill to the hospital and Dr. for his blood pressure.

 

 

 

Friday, February 28, 1986

 

They cleaned the poison from Billie’s toe and the bone. Maybe home Saturday. It pains him a lot. Well he met Carmen’s new friend Dennis. He is a nice neat looking guy. We liked him. They went down to Betty and Walt for supper. Kim over to Betty’s today, they cleaned up the house. Kim did some painting. She helped to get the supper.

 

 

Month recap:

Flicka was taken sick on the 7th and died early on the 9th. It was awful. We all loved her very much. It has made Carmen quite upset and sick. Also on the 20^th Billie entered the NCM hospital for a bad toe infection. Also they have had many meetings on antinuclear waste deposits in this region. We met Carmen’s new friend. He gave her quite a surprise. He may be better now, time will tell.
