Coffee and earthquakes.

I stopped for coffee this afternoon to visit with Eleanor. We watched the footage of the Earthquake in Japan. Since they show the same clips over and over again on the weather channel, we began discussing earthquakes. We remembered the small quakes while we were on Okinawa, and she remembered the first time she was in a noticeable earthquake. She looked out the door and saw Lorraine and A.C. Kendall's car rocking in their driveway. I asked if perhaps it was their son and his girlfriend, but she laughed and said we were in school at the time--otherwise it might have been.
   I usually file her mail while I am there, since she worries able the possibility that she might throw something away. She had a pile destined for the garbage, but one letter was to inform her that an annuity she had with Kemper had been transfered  to Zimmer Life, so it's good that we have our no throw policy in place.
   Next week we have plans to go to Lincoln for a hearing aid tune up; which is greatly needed, then on to Jim's Home Health Care to look at lift chairs, and finally to Culver's for walleye. They have always had walleye in the Lenten season, and Eleanor loves her walleye. She always loves to remember fishing with Fred in Minnesota and all the great fish dinners they would enjoy.
