The roll of Aunt Helen's film turned out to be a duplicate of the film labeled "grandas" but in much better condition. It was with extreme sadness that I opened one of Dad's reels of my early childhood and found the film was completely disintegrated. I'm not sure if i can recover anything from it. I'm am extremely sad over this. Libbie is down and out but Paige is as busy as ever. We chose to let her watch TV almost all day. I took her out for a home Depot trip where I bought a sanding pad and some minwax but it wasn't good enough to sand down the rough surface on the shelves. I may just go with it as is.
Joe arrived around 3:30. Paige was happy. They went out to a park on Kelly Rd then i met Joe at Enterprise rent a car on 55 in Apex and picked he and Paige up when they dropped the car off. I started smoking ribs today at 12:30. When Joe arrived he informed us that Cole and Emily were also coming for inner. I went to Kroger and got some Italian Sausage and more baby back ribs. We had more than enough ribs and sausage. Cole made some awful Farfala "bricks" which had chick peas and other stuff. We tried making Hush Puppies but they didn't come out very good. It was a nice evening anyway.
