Hello From Rockville
A cool rainy day but very little wind.

Harlan was sleeping when I got there, his neb machine was running and so was the oxygen machine. I got him up and we went for the Festival of Nations in the auditorium, food was served presenting various countries, hot dogs with sauerkraut from Germany, chips and salsa from Mexico, meat balls from Sweden, root beer floats from USA and many more foods, it was all very good. I took Harlan in a wheel chair through the L-O-N-G walkway but when we left to go back I took him out the front door of the VA Clinic to his building which is much shorter then the hallway, it is also much leveler out side. It didn't rain and with no wind the walk was great, I was warm and he said he wasn't cold but when we got up to his room his hands were cold. Because we had food at The Festival I did not take him out, I was not able to park near his building and it would have been a long walk to get to the car, it all worked out well just to stay in.

We just took it easy when we got back and I put the oxygen on him and he slept. After his meds I went home in a little bit of rain, I'll be in touch tomorrow...........Fran
