Weather: Pretty unexciting. A couple of little showers and temperatures mostly in the 70s and 60s. We had one fan day early in the week, but that was mostly because of the lack of wind and high humidity. It started warming up yesterday in preparation of hot weather this coming week.

We started out the week with breakfast at the Lions Club with friends of ours. They put on a better breakfast than we do at the 5th Maine. Anyway, it a good way to start out the week. I did manage to get the new shelves built in the back hall where we had to rearrange things for the refrigerator. They are built, finished and already full of stuff.

Tuesday we went and picked up Pam and Christian at the airport in Manchester, NH. That is 100 miles away (Mom would probably correct that to 99 miles). It is an easy trip as long as one doesn't get mixed up with vacation traffic, which we did not on a Tuesday. Mom, Pam and Christian went to the market on Wednesday after lunch. They were going earlier, but we had to have the lunch that Dong brought us that his sister had prepared before he left for the island. She had fixed egg rolls with a sauce and sort of a veggie roll only it had shrimp and chicken in it and also with a sauce. I didn't have the later, but I sure enjoyed the egg rolls. He brought enough so we had 2 meals out of it. This was all real authentic stuff.

Dong and I worked on hooking up the ice maker in the frig. He also worked on it while we were at the Cumberland County Craft Fair on Thu. No matter what he or we did it kept leaking so we concluded the solenoid unit leaks. Sears will be by on Tuesday to fix that. Fri Dong took all our construction trash (from his work as well as the stuff from the upstairs porch and the back steps railing left over from last year) dto the dump. Aunt Jeanne and Emma were down yesterday and that is the extent of happenings this week. Almost forgot, Dong got the stained window cover of lexan type material all installed. That will protect the window and also eliminate the drafts.

That is about the news of the moment. Love, Dad
