Often when I find an author I really like they become like friends. I have been reading a book by Jean Vanier who writes books that you can ready time and time again. Sadly he passed away yesterday but he was 90 years old. He gave his life to the handicapped people who he lived with and he rescued them from the mental hospital where they were often put in years past.
I believe that God intervenes in our lives often through our friendships. Often a friend will come or drop by just when you need someone to talk to.
Dad phoned up Hamlet to see if he would like to go to the driving range to hit golf balls. He and Carol met him at the little gold course over by us and then they came here for a bite to eat and have a visit. It was so good they did as dad was feeling very bad as he cannot swing a golf club any more without losing his balance. He was looking forward to maybe do some golfing with our neighbor Gordon.

My journal is full of his quotes but I am making a lot of mistakes so it is time to stop writing.

So, dad wanted to go golfing so he went to the driving range?
Certainly a nice day for that.
I have to work late today so Randy will be in charge of feeding and cleaning the up the kittens.
Yes and no. He wanted to try the driving range first.
If he went with Gordon they would use the cart.
Randy is sooooo good.!
Love mom
