National Arboretum












Lydia Mathews and I spent a couple of hours at the Arboretum today. Cynthia had taken me years ago, but it was nice to visit again. I want to go back when the spring flowers/trees are in bloom.

US Military Retirement Home Deer











Doris Jones is moving back to Louisana; she was transferred here after Hurricane Katrina. Lydia Mathews and I carried her to dinner early this evening, and when I carried her home, she asked if I would drive around the complex and let her see the deer one more time. The area is huge; I think about 300 acres! 170 of their retires will be moving back south within the next two weeks. That means pink slips for some employees, I am sure.
