A Visitor from the East

A very good morning to you all. I heard this morning that on Wednesday we may have rain and snow!!!! NO! Too early. Ws had a big surprise over the weekend. My cousin, from the UK, had a meeting in Chicago this morning so decided fo make a detour to visit us. He arrived early hours on Saturday and left yesterday afternoon. We had a good time talking and wAs special for Diana. Had lots of laughs and gave him a tour of the area, to which he replied, "is that all". Took him to Bay City and showed him the lake, which should be called a sea. Saturday evening the family came around and we had a good time being entertained with stories of life with the rich and famous!!! Di was in good spirits and enjoyed the time. Yesterday I found her in tears and the rest of the day she was extremely quiet. She said all was fine. Not sure if she was exhausted from Saturday or not. This afternoon she will have 2 teeth extracted. I hope the area will heal quickly. I do feel for her as she puts on a brave face. Anyhow watch this space for the report back tomorrow bu all have a great day. Love Ian & Di.
