This evening Niilo was able to transfer from chair to wheelchair, etc. with only one helper…a step toward renewed mobility! Enjoying some late ginger ale in bed, he declined a refill: ” I think that this would be thought to be enough.” The wooded hillsides of Chena Ridge have a very faint green hue tonight, and it’s sprinkling…soon to be green!

Earlier today, Niilo enjoyed talking to his Finnish American friends Lauri (pronounced La-u-ree, a masculine name) and Harry, by phone.
