Okay—this is gonna be a really hard day for Mamaw. The hip is awful—she can hardly walk. She told Poppy all she had to do today was go get her hair colored and get her replacement phone programmed and she was comin home for the day. I better be good so that hip can get better so I’ll go in the kennel like a good girl so she can go and get back to me.

Poppy asked her though to call Miss Vicki and see if any company was gathering tonight at their house. She said she thought Betty might like that and if Mamaw had a bottle of wine, she might be a little more relaxed. She isn’t sleeping…these are sad times and it’s even harder when all arrangements, the service and the burial is taking place in Denison, IA. Yes, the visitation is to be Monday and the funeral Tuesday. I’ll need to “bite the bullet” and behave so they can get through this with as little stress as possible.

Mamaw’s hair is a little lighter than she usually likes it to be but Poppy says it’ll be growin out in no time.

We didn’t go over to see Miss Betty tonight. Mamaw just wanted to go to bed and rest the hip so sorry Miss Betty—no wine tonight. Hope you sleep good…
