COMMENTS:
Rose was calm and relaxed today, but not very verbal. Dr. Vesper went to church and came home immediately afterwords. When I confronted him about his lack of interest in going to the gym lately, his comment was “I sure hope it’s not old-age”.  I ask if there was anything he needed to discuss with Dr. Wilson and he said no. He went to the bedroom for a nap and wanted me to put Rose in bed to take her nap with him.

Kemper celebrated the first day of spring by taking a swim in the water on top of the pool cover, since the water was green & yucky, he had to have a bath. Can’t wait for summer!!
