Late mid-morning. The clouds are
overwhelming the open sky. You all had breakfast at Mama’s Kitchen near Madeira
Beach before Kim, Paul, Owen and Brennan headed to Tampa International and
their Delta flight home about fifty minutes from now. The quiet is settling in.
You completed today’s Tampa Bay Times as Carol was beginning her read. –

1030 hours. We are hoping to return this coming March or
April. The four of us have also decided, assuming Apple meets the
technological, cosmetic and comfort expectations, to buy their new watches in
the Spring. I like keeping up with the times as far as electronics are
concerned. Showing an example of what I didn’t know until last night – I asked
Paul how to set the alarm on the iPhone and Paul pulled up his phone and said,
“Suri, set the alarm for six-thirty in the morning.” She did and it blew me
away. We have used a 1972 travel alarm all these years and the lettering is
slowly fading away even with a new battery every year so I decided to use the
iPhone. It works but I never dreamed I could ask Suri to set it. I do want to
use Apple Pay sometime this month so I don’t feel uncomfortable using it.
Obviously I don’t keep up with the youth in all that appears to matter
technologically, but I am not an old fogy about it.
Later, afternoon. You have been working on
the genealogy and for the Scottish descendents you have twelve generations
since Lord Thomas. You have the English descendents to do. This put you up to
1066, which is the setting for Grandma Six in book two. – Amorella
1654 hours. I rather fell into this focus out of nowhere
so I suppose I was working on it subconsciously at least. There is no sense
waiting around to make changes and bring the story up to the moment. I have a
list, which I may include in an appendix. As for the first book’s Grandma characters
I might work something up also, little stories that suggest how each may have
become a part of Renaldo and Criteria or added to the family through the
centuries into the twentieth. This is one of the points of the Grandma stories,
to show suggested genetic webbing for which we, as cousins, may belong one way
or another. Here is my working list at present.

hours. I have completed the listing for the English side but have not
transcribed it. Enough for tonight. It is rainy and quite cool. This has been
the worst day weather-wise. Tomorrow we go to the Park Place Theatre to see Gone
Girl at 12:30.
