Trip to Ikea

We made a trip to Ikea today to pick up the FRACK extension mirror that we tried to get the last time we were here. Success! They actually had it in stock, along with a couple of other small things we needed. Now I just have to figure out where to install it so it's usable and doesn't interfere with anything else.

This evening we came over to Ed and Julie's. When we walked up to the house, we were surprised to see a Honda with Florida plates in the driveway. Julie's parents had arrived for their visit, a day before Julie was expecting them. It was nice to see Martha and Jerry again. They were tired from their long two-day trip. Martha has a new look--no glasses. She recently had cataract surgery, and so far she is pleased with the results.

Ed had to go to a party at the Main Event to celebrate Park Place being named one of the five best places to work in the Dallas area. He didn't get home until after 8:00 p.m. Julie's pretty much frazzled, because Jesse hasn't been letting her have a moment's peace. He is just irritable and out of sorts.

I haven't been feeling well all day. Ed and Julie say "Join the crowd!" We all seem to have some kind of upper respiratory problem. I've had a sore throat and just general malaise, but ibuprofen seems to be helping me deal with it.
