Last night Liz and her brothers got an email from her dad with an update on his health. It was not great. He has some sort of cancer and starts treatment next week, and won’t really be able to receive visitors for six months or so. So tomorrow morning we will drive up to Michigan and visit for a week. This morning I went to the lumberyard first thing, then drove home. I wanted to surprise Liz and Luke, but apparently I missed them by just a couple of minutes as they headed up to Nashville. So I mowed the back field and went to Kroger for some trip food. They returned home and we had lunch, then Luke took a short nap. We went to the Dotted Lime to get Liz some coffee, then dropped of her guitar at the shop to get restrung, and walked at Riverside while we waited. Back home we had dinner and did the normal bed time routine. It didn’t take Luke too long to fall asleep.
