First dog watch, 1 bell (4:33 pm)
My sister Betsy is going to be in Portland next month, from the 5th to the 10th. I guess she won’t have the time to make a trip up this far North, but I think Lorien and I will take a short weekend trip down there to see her. It’s also my aunt Patsy’s 50th birthday, so it would be a good time to visit. Betsy lives in Virginia now, by the way, so I don’t get to see her very often.
