Friday
Up early feeling fine. Will go up and visit with Rene again, she should be in better shape this time. A clear but cold day in store for us. Went down town and had breakfast at Blue Goose. Will go to library today and then back to visit Rene, that's all.

(Buck note: Ha!! That must be the name of the cafe I couldn't figure out early on. Blue Goose Cafe. What was he doing at the library? Was researching book art really something he was into? Is it possible that they actually had a plan that Rene would write a good book and Ray would do the "book art"? What was Grandma's operation? Also props to grampa for cutting back on his TV time.)

I love Grandpa Ray because he's always going down town! And don't hate on him for the TV thing. I also dig the old-skool sayings, like "took treatment." Go Pocket Pal!
