Tuesday, June 28, 1994 Betty Milne home to Scotland today, written by Dorothea
Dorothea in early, and gave me a bath, breakfast and I felt good after being so tired last night. Decided to go to the airport to see Betty Milne leave for Scotland. We had lunch at airport restaurant. I had fish and chips, it was good too. Zak was at airport when we got there to get me in wheelchair. He and Betty Milne confirmed her flight. I rode down and back with Carmen and Cameron. Betty, Betty M and Dorothea rode in Betty’s car. While waiting for Betty’s plane, we watched the planes come and go. Cameron was so good and enjoyed watching the flight lines and planes etc. Well we will miss Betty M. She is such good fun and enjoyed her visit this summer. Glad she was here for the wedding shower. On way home from the airport Carmen stopped and got some fresh peas and we also had ice cream. Then picked BJ up at Highland Lake. Home and took the nap.
