 Today we went for a walk, then went to Crapevine for lunch.  Then I watched a movie, then I came outside to blog.  I feel pretty good about the day.  I got to talk to Evie, and she sounded well.  I will send her a note to see if I can come and visit her in the near future.  She certainly has her mind intact.  I hope we enjoy our dinner here, with a soup and sandwich for dinner. Tomorrow we do the laundry.  Riyad, Nora and Nikolaj and visit int tomorrow afternoon and overnight.  I look forward to seeing them.  The next Sunday we are going to an A's game, and Scott, Jessi and the boys are visiting that morning.

 I didn't write yesterday since I had my tooth done, but Bill and I went out to an early dinner at la Meriterrane last night.  Then we watched a movie.  Today we got appointments for our Flu snots,  picked up our Equis at CVS and we had a lunch at the Rockridge Cafe.  Then I watched a movie and now I''m blogging.  At five we go to Jessi's for dinner and to watch a movie with the boys while Scott and Jessi go to parents' night at Peratla. I hope it goes well.  Lewis hurt his finger on Tuesday and has a soft cast.  He's doing well with it.  Poor Jessi had an all  day experience at the ER.  He went to  school yesterday and seems fine.

 Today we walked to the post office, and I mailed a little bird to Auggie.  It should arrive Monday.  It rained hard until we got to the post office, then cleared, so we stopped by Star and got some groceries.  Then we went to Metro for lunch.  I had a fried chicken and biscuit sandwich and potatoes and it was yummy.  We are having a light meal for dinner.  I finished my book then Bill and I watched a movie.  We both liked it.  We will watch another movie tonight - I think a gourmet detective one.

 We had a great time last night watching Michelle Obama and Baraek Obama at the convention last night.  We  were thrilled by their speeches.  We also had fun going out to lunch at Rockridge Cafe and just feeling upbeat about the convention.  Today we went to the botanical gardens and had a lot of fun and then ate at the Orinda Hofbrau.  We are. looking foreeward to   The speeches tonight, especially Tim Walz' speech.  We are cautiously hopeful that the convention willl cause people to get and out and vote.

 We watched all the coverage of the Democratic Convention last night.  I especially loved Hillary Clinton's speech and Cortez's speech,but I thought Biden's was terrific as well. Bill and I had a good time with Lewis in the afternoon.  He was really sweet.  He ate all his lunch and snack and really loved being at our house.  Today Bill and I took our walk then went to the Rockridge Cafe for lunch, where I had my usual BLT and fries and iced tea.  Tonight we will watch more talks, like Clinton and Obama and Tim Walz.

 Yesterday I didn't do a blog because we went to an A's-Giants game and we came home exhausted.  We had a great time though, and the A's won 2-0.  Today we were so tired we didn't do anything but go out to lunch at Crapevine.  I had an omelet that was fantastic.  Then we read and rested all afternoon.  I hope I made up for the sleep I missed last night.  We are going to have a simple dinner tonight, as we had a lot of food at lunch.   And watch some kind of movie.  Actually, I watched a movie this afternoon as well.  it was a Hallmark mystery.  Tomorrow we watch Lewis in the afternoon.  Probably at !:30.
