Reading Writing Diary: August 29, 2004
I didn’t provide a writing diary for Thursday and Friday because there was nothing much to say. Thursday my brother Jim from Edmonton arrived to take away the family piano (by prior arrangement!) and brought Mom with him from Weyburn, so Thursday night was a family night.
