The Williams Family Journal

Ella had a tooth extraction at 8 o'clock in the morning.
It was around 11 when we got home. Ella went to sleep until sometime after 2.
I worked on more sermons while she slept and then set my alarm for 2 and took a nap also.
Ella woke from her nap and demanded oatmeal right now! After she had eating her oatmeal, we went back to the dentist to get her new dentures. On the way home we stopped at Village Inn for Pie Rush Wednesday. We had just gotten inside the building when it started raining really hard and then about three minutes later it increased in intensity. There were trees down and limbs scattered around the campground. One large limb way across the camper just across the street from us. She was not home at the time.

Union Park United Methodist Church

We attended church at Union Park United Methodist Church. We left them a wheelchair and a walker with the understanding that it was on loan until such time as we needed it back.

From May through September we had several routines in our schedule; Wednesday's we gathered at Village Inn for pie, most mornings we met at the campground cafe for coffee, Thursday evenings we were there for family style meals.

She would have spent some days working alone in the rental units. She couldn't have be able to work through the summer o.k. non air conditioned buildings. I didn't like the idea that, if something were too happen to her, she would have been working alone.
