Shirley is gone and life goes on. Monday means banking for Nina and me with breakfast preceding anything. Tori will pick up Erin today. The Herns kept her an extra day due to yesterday’s happenings. While we felt that it was best for Erin to not be here, she could have come home as all was over with so early.

Joe returned from Florida yesterday. He stopped by on his way home and condolences were delivered and accepted along with a review of his trip. I’m glad that he’s found someone that makes him happy.

Yesterday afternoon I replaced some bulbs in the store along with having to replace one of the fixture’s ballasts. (Dennis, that solution the sale man gave me worked fine. FYI) The store is well lit again. I plan on changing out all the bulbs in the store later this week.

Brother Carl is on a cruise now. We’ve been hearing that the ship is filled with Asians and old people, not at all what Carl was hoping for, but then I realized that he is just a year behind me in turning 60 and I realize that maybe the old people part of the cruise is a bit appropriate. (Don’t hate me Carl. 2015 is a reality for you.)
