Dog Swim

The annual Dog Swim at Mom's Place

The pool is drained and cleaned after this event

Julie went to the Dog Swim with Mom this afternoon. Mom's reaction: "I didn't want anything to do with it."

Fair enough.

I took her to church this morning. Her new glasses have helped her keep track, and she stayed with the service pretty well. We had coffee and a sweet roll in the Bistro afterwards, and chatted with our friend Jack, who is uncle of the new Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. Small world.

On the way up to her room, Mom said, "I hope Nels is with us."

"It's just you and me, Mom," I said.

"Where is he?"

"He's not here."

"I hope he's still a part of my life."

"He's always in your memory," I said.
