Day 937: Class of 69 reunion

The class of 69 opened their Friday night reunion to other classes from the sixties like we did.  The Wretched Group played old tunes for a couple hours down at Point Gratiot.  It was a lovely evening with a gorgeous sunset.  Really perfect for a reunion.  It's always fun to listen to the music of the sixties.  Just as we were leaving, they started to perform Steve's favorite song of all time:  I can't get no satisfaction!  It was the main song they played the whole year he was in Vietnam.

We made a trip out to the Nass Daylily Gardens and ordered four lilies for Nancy and nine for us.  We'll pick them up tomorrow.  A huge group of people from a family reunion arrived for a tour just as we finished browsing.  I picked out only distinctive lilies so I don't get them mixed up.  I also had the opportunity to take photos of lots of lilies as references to help me identify some of mine.  I found out that several of mine are mislabeled.  The maps are more complete and accurate every day, but I still have work to do.

When I talked to Nancy today, she revealed that she has a 13 mm kidney stone!  That is huge!  No wonder she's been in terrible pain.  She will have it blasted on Tuesday morning.  It's strange because Laurie just had a 7 mm stone blasted two weeks ago.  Nancy has never had a stone, unlike Laurie who has had dozens like dad did.  She had her tenth lipotripsy recently.  That means that three out of five siblings and one of my nephews have had stones.  Only my brother Steve and I have not.  What a miserable plague for them!  I guess if I ever come down with a severe backache, we'll know I joined the club.

250 lengths.  I was so tired I could barely cover and get out of the pool.
