Dupont:

Started out with freezing rain and R saying he was going to northern NYS!!! I managed to get him to eat BF which gave the weather time to hit the plus 1C; I was watching the ice on cars melt. He just phoned to tell me he is NOT going to NYS YAY!!! And he does have the parts to finish the sink which is half installed. The heat is doing OK but needs to be completed. I told him I am sick of half finished projects!! "I am too." but he has far too many and I only care about our HOME! And my son has still not called to let us know when/if he is coming. He was here 2 years ago and the furnace was not working and the sink also!

Still recovering from trip, and from Bill Staines, still tearful - a much cared for acquaintance of 55 years. And a connection to many other dear friends. But I did wash the dishes and hope to get a decent lunch soon.
