Tues 28 Jun

Mary Hofer came over yesterday evening and looked at our Scotland pictures. Elizabeth is going to Germany for a month, leaving this weekend, with a school trip so we talked about packing and the uselessness of advice to young people. Being Mary, she didn't leave til after 10 pm, but fortunately Tuesday is my day that I can sleep in longer. Told her about my weird dizziness/vertigo and she said she and a few others have had similar issues which apparently are due to crystals inside the ear that settle in the wrong place and cause the vertigo. Kay showed her some "exercise" from her chiropractor that involves shaking the head vigorously to loosen the crystals. I plan to research this a bit on the Internet today and hopefully find some useful answers. Finally chose my retirement gift from my coworkers today. Took my Portage Co gift certificates to Lee Ayers' and chose a pretty pair of 14K gold earrings. Used the entire amount of the certificates plus $0.78 toward the tax. Still have $40 in cash from other gifts to use in the future.
