A fine clear March-like day – B & I drive to Wyoming Village via Cowlesville & Attica. Very little snow except occasionally a few remnants on the north sides of hills. So like March we cannot help but exclaim every little while.
Back by way of Warsaw. Stop at Werner’s. Mr. had had a bad fall on the ice three weeks before. Unable to move for a week he was now sitting up on a chair. Visiting them does “something” for me. I think it is that in spite of their age (he is past 90, she past 80) they still have a fine zest for life. We departed with a good feeling.
