Today Fay was finishing lunch when we arrived. On Shabbat, all the meals are cold. It looked like Fay had done a pretty good job on the white fish salad and veggies, but left the potato salad. She was drinking milk from the carton, sitting next to Rebecca.
We brought the old phone from the Cedars, programmed with my home, cell, and work phone numbers. It's one touch dialing; we'll see if it works. We were about 1 for 3 in the experiments we tried. Not too good for phone dialing, but it will get you into the Hall of Fame if you play baseball. The other advantage is the answering machine. We can check to see if anyone calls during the week and get back to callers who leave a message.
It was hot in Baltimore today. We went outside and sat in the gazebo, read the Baltimore Jewish Times and looked at some pictures. Then we went inside for the ice cream social. Some of Fay's old personality shone through the confusion today.
She asked me if she could pay for the phone.
She told us not to spend our money at the hardware store (we told her we were getting some stuff for our deck-garden).
She reminded us to say goodbye to Rebecca (after all, she has to live with her).
