Friday Update

Linda and Ceil hung out all day together at home.  They sorted and arranged Ceil's bedroom closet.  It is a good thing for Ceil to have a say in how things are done and where her things are put.  Linda and I are very sensitive to this, and include Ceil in on everything that concerns her possessions.  Another quiet, but good day for Ceil.
