What a lovely day that ended with an unexpected Saturday night date with my daughter and grandson. I stopped by Heather’s late in the afternoon to get some help with set-up of my new phone. Jed was just leaving with Ollie and Jonah for a Scout campout at the Buttonwood Zoo off-Cape, so that left just Heather and Sam at home. Sam was planning to cook steaks on the grill for dinner and he invited me to stay. I had no other plans, so I accepted. And then after dinner he wanted me to stay to watch a movie. He changed what they were going to watch to introduce me to Harry Potter. I have never read the books nor seen any of the movies, so Sam wanted to fill the gap in my ‘cultural education’. For dinner, Sam did a great job grilling the steaks and Heather added boiled potatoes, asparagus, and salad. Delicious. It was a delightful evening. There was only one low point when Heather got a call from Jed saying the van had a flat tire on I 195 . . . not really where you want to have a flat tire with two little boys in the van. But he got it changed and they were once again on their way to the campout. Sure hope the rest of the evening went smoothly for them.
I had PT this morning and am told that my knee has great flexibility but that I have a little more work to do to get it straightened out completely. It will go flat against the table with some work, but not just automatically, so more exercises were added to deal with that.

I then went to the Falmouth School District Science Fair to see Sam and Jonah’s projects. By the time I got there, the judging had been completed and the boys weren’t ‘on duty’ by their projects as they had already been there for a couple of hours and were now enjoying some of the other activities.Sam did an experiment with yeast with two friends, Ethan and Karl, and he and his friend Robert had their underwater ROV that they built together on display. Jonah did a survey project with two friends, Kayden and Lucas, about favorite pets.

I caught Jonah at his display just long enough get a photo. I then went home for lunch and to rest my knee and later in the afternoon I visited with friends Karen and Peter Baranowski. It was a busy day.
