I woke up at 7 and played games for quite a while. Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast. At 9 we went to Dan and Patsy's house. Ellen played with the dogs while Patsy and I set up a sign for bingo.
After that we took a ride around the area. We looked at both campgrounds. They were full. The water was as high as we've ever seen it, so the boat launches were pretty amazing. We also drove out on Snake River Road. Where Eagle Creek and the Powder connect everything is flooded. The water reached all the way to the road.
Ellen needed to meet Dan at the festival at 1. She was going to a singalong that they were having there. I sat listening to the music and surfing. Of course Abby was a hit again. When Dan and Ellen were done we all sat at a picnic bench and had a late lunch. Dan got to talking about his troubles. They are considerable.
His health is not good. He's suffering from dementia. After a dementia test the doctor gave him 5 to 10 years. Nephropathy now reaches all the way to his neck. He has mental lapses that cause him to momentarily loose mental faculties. He gets the results of a MRI about that on Monday. On top of that Patsy says she doesn't love him any more and wants to go live in Atlanta. He's too nice a guy to have this all happen to him.
Patsy came over for a while and we visited with her and some of their friends. About 5 we went back to the trailer to feed the pets. At 6 we went to New Bridge. Ellen went with Dan to the church for some singing thing. I went next door to play bingo. I didn't win anything.
Dan took Ellen back to the trailer when they were done. I got back after 9.
The rest of the evening was videos and games.
