She's had several short trips already and plans a longer one after Christmas. I caught her at home between taunts. She plans to be back for the FAIR and bring her youngest grandson. Cheslah went with me to talk with Queen Susie. We had a delicious lunch and a delightful afternoon. Have you ever heard of a 3-handed photographer? I d hold the camera, she'd turn to get the focus and snap the but ton. Anyway the pictures didn't turn out too badly. Friday the doctor took out the stitches on my head. This Friday he will change casts. I can hardly wait. I told Charlie I thought my elbow was getting moldy. Just may be I'll be able to take pic tures with this new one.
