Friday

Nabal has been too sick to get out of bed. He did snake the house today as the upstairs tub was backing up into the basement. What I am worried about is our girl. She has chosen a boyfriend in many ways like her father, like the wistful stories he told the children of his troubled youth. And she is covering for him just like I did, figuring it was a good man needing a break to get himself together. To her friend a state over she'll go for the summer! I hope. Even her brother likes the guy but wants to see them not a couple. She's trying to 'save' him... I've talked to the boy, he doesn't want to change. More bad that comes of staying too long.
