Last night was the 40th birthday party for the kids who were in "Chris's room". There will be pictures later on and lots of them. It was a wonderful evening. Chris and Shelly had the dinner catered and the food was absolutely delicious. The weather was very hot and very crowded with lots of people from his high school class and also Scott's high school class were there also. Mark Lary is 51 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mark Lary, and all others who are celebrating there birthdays this year. Scott couldn't come because because the boys were getting trophies for baseball and he came to the lake with the boys last weekend and will be there for the Fourth of July also next weekend too. They may or may not be able to come. We just talked to the boys and they're not sure. They may surprise us. I sure hope so.

The weather is much cooler today and I'm sure feels better than it did yesterday. I haven't been outside yet but Mark and Karen rode 60 miles on their bicycles yesterday. Rose did laps over st the high school. I rode the exercycle and did the arm cycle aqnd plan to do so again today. Mike Lynch is going to take me to Kingdom City Tuesday evening to meet Mad Dog and his dad. We'll switch and he'll bring his dad to St. Louis and Mad Dog will take me on down to the lake to prepare for the Fourth. The rest of the group will come Thursday night.

Lunch is ready. More later.
