When I called this morning and asked for Dad they said that he was finally sleeping and they really didn't want to wake him up.

It is Czech Day's in Tabor SD this weekend. They missed the yesterday's parade because of the heat, and probably will not stay for the Polka Mass at 5:00 in the evening. The goal will be to stay hydrated today.

What a difference a week makes. This week Dad was very interactive with me. Talked about the weather and getting a new shed. The nurse I assume was suspecting that Dad might have gave up talking came to check in, at that point I thought we would end on a good note. PS Happy Birthday to Kathy.

Talk of the hot weather. They just got back from their big trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, so they missed out on voting in the SD primary, "Some woman was running". A comment came up about the reason Grampa Broome did not work on Saturday's. The possible 1/2 sister who helps out at the VFW. And wishing Kathy a Happy Birthday.

I believe Dad was in his room today. This week it was sunny in Princeton however, it was raining in Yankton. Talked about the bank robbery that happened at a Wells Fargo branch in St Cloud a couple of days ago. Which I brought up the story Dad would tell of how he witnessed a bank robbery in at the American State Bank in Yankton when he was a kid. I some how must have bored him with my next story as I had seemed to have lost him, so that ended our conversation this week.
