Saturday - January 21

As I write this, my Dad is still with us defying all the odds after what the nurse and then doctor told me yesterday.   His vital signs are slowing down, not eating or drinking, etc.    BUT.....Saint Judi reported in tonight and said she wanted to reassure Ron, Bob and I that Dad is very peaceful and comfortable.   

My Aunt Marian and cousins, Dick and Gary visited Dad this afternoon......really appreciate that!   And all 3 called tonight to talk - how special was that!!!

We had planned on leaving Marathon and actually did take off at 6:52 AM.   But 15 miles out on Florida Bay, we had engine problems again...............when the anti-freeze started spurting out from the starboard engine (just got the port engine fixed).    The engine overheated, alarms went off and we went back to Marathon.    So..............that saga (nightmare) continues!   WHAT is going on?  Of course, it's the weekend, so Monday morning, Luis, Joel, someone will be here!!!!!

If you have to be stuck somewhere, Marathon is just fine and such a treat having Joe and Jane close by.....I did  laundry this afternoon, exercised, and   Jane and Joe picked us up for 4:00 Mass at San Pablo.   Then to the Moose (Joe belongs back home) for drinks.    Had delicious dinner at The Castaway (another winner to put on the list)!

I just finished a wonderful book "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand (true story about WW II).    An unbelievable true story of the life of Louis Zamperini - highly recommend this!
