Diary Entry for 7/8/2000

A great sunny day. Down to 43° overnight. A new record. Elgin, Carmi, and Lyla here for chicken dinner. Cheryl here in PM. WE all went over to see Merrill in PM. He was awake but not talking much. I came home by cab. $2.50. Lyla called at 7 PM to say Elgin called at 7 PM to let her know they got home. Margaret Kiechle called. It’s good to hear some of the Philadelphia news. Jolie left message on answering machine.
