I played PB and around 9:15 Gail and I headed to Harlingen to pick up Katie and Beth at the airport. We drove to Valley Baptist and had a short visit with Jean. She is in ICU. She could be moved to regular room, but there are 11 people in ER and they would have first priority for a room, so she remains where there is more care, which may be a good thing. Gail went with Bruce and Bev and Jim to SPI to dance. I rode with Denny to mail a package, We had the Schrums and Bruce and Gloria over for supper. Denny swore at me for not having butter with the fresh bread. Lord, Grant me wisdom.
