Nice today. Merrill didn’t sleep at all last night. He finally went to bed at 5 AM in his clothes, shoes, etc. We didn’t go to church. Wayne brought me a tape of today’s service. Very good. Jim, Nancy, Jolie, Zack, Shawn Michael and Ashley and baby Stephen Michael Korotosy, 1 month old here for supper. King caught a mouse under the refrigerator. Glenn Brady stopped by. He met Jim on road. He’s in training as a deputy sheriff so he pulled Jim over for slow driving. It is days like today that keeps me going. It is so good to laugh. Merrill seldom sees anything funny anymore. He used to laugh and joke so much. I don’t know how we will get along without Jolie, Zack, and Shawn Michael. They have helped so much and Merrill listens to Jolie. I feel so sad when I think of them going to Fort Lewis.
