Today we met Lisa Liscinsky for lunch. It was wonderful to see her and catch each other up on family.  It's a busy and exciting time for them, with her daughter graduating from college this weekend, and her son graduating from high school. Our lunches were all delicious, and so huge that Mom and I were not the least bit hungry for dinner.

Heard on the radio that today was the 14th straight day here with measurable rain, though at least it waited to start up today until we're had just gotten into the car after lunch.  Unfortunately there were more water issues back at Sandy and Andy's. I had mentioned this morning that I wasn't getting really hot water in the shower (and haven't been using the cold faucet at all) and asked about possibly turning up the water heater. So today Sandy did that - except that now the water is only luke warm. All three of us looked at the water heater tonight but (not surprisingly) made little progress, so it sounds like there will be a call to the plumber tomorrow.  

And of course we'll be going to Helen's funeral tomorrow.
