What a nice day I have had. It started off with a very real dream but I will tell you about that after I tell you about the visitors we had today. Bill's Mom and Gust came. It was Gust's birthday and the family helped him celebrate.  Jo-An is going to take some things back to the Church when she goes home for a week or two.  It's always a good time when they visit.  Not often enough or long enough.Â
Now about the dream. My friend Margaret who was my best friend all through grade and High School passed away in 2001. She had her ticket bought to fly down to Florida to visit me when she took sick. I miss her still. I used to call her and ask about this one and that one and she had kept in touch with all our classmates.  I do have a friend from school days named Dorothy and she keeps all of us that are left up on the news.
The reason I say the dream was the beginning of a good day it was all about Margaret. She and I were going to a play and I had the tickets and was to meet her at the Library in Steubenville. Well, I waited a long while and Margaret did not show up. This was not like Margaret. She was always 1/2 hour early for any appointment. So, I started walking up the Main St. in our home town and I could see her rushing down about two blocks away. I stopped and waited for her. She came to me out of breathe and explaining that she just noticed on her watch that it was 7:30. She had to get the bus in from where she lived.  With that I woke up and my thoughts were still with her and this was all so real I was wanting to ask her a question but the really amazing part of this is I woke up at exactly 7:30. I could not believe my eyes as I looked at my clock.  This has to mean something but what?
The Rays game was not on TV up here but that's OK because I heard they lost again. Don't worry about our team they are going to be good as new after the break.
Love and prayers from here to there
