I'm in Detroit now. Had dinner at my brother and sister-in-law's house tonight. Ribs on the grill, potatoes, vegetables, salad, etc. GREAT dinner Pam!
I picked up my friend Joe this afternoon and we took a trip through Royal Oak on our way to Somerset Mall. I visited our old house on Trafford in Royal Oak. It is a MESS!!! I spoke with our old next door neighbor and she told me the guy wasn't home. I went over there and went through the back yard. Ray would be sick. His gardens are no more. The deck we put on is falling apart. The beautiful wood fence he had put in is gone...rotted and blown over by the wind! All the windows were covered with sheets for newspapers...or old sheers from when we lived there. I tried to peek in the family room windows...not much to see. It made me sick. It is so sad. My old neighbor told me he is trying to sell it. I wish I could buy it and fix it back up for Ray. I loved living in Royal Oak so much! It was the first house Ray and I moved together into as a couple.
Joe and I then went to Somerset Mall. Went up to the third floor and visited with Gary in the salon. Great to see you Gary. Also went to make a short visit to another co-worker Sue Watt. It was a great day and a sad day. I cried going home as I drove down 11 Mile. I saw downtown Royal Oak, Superior Fish Market, the farmer's market, etc. It brought back very happy memories. But memories that can never more be.
Tomorrow I will visit Scott and Mary Ellen. I am so looking forward to that. - Jimmy
