Talked to Doris at 11:30 AM: Doris was well and happy after yesterdays visitation. They went to Buttercup to have Prime Rib after the visitation. She asked about increased laundry loads. I told her it might be good for me to get out of laundry and into something less strenuous and takes a lot out of me. I have aches and pain from working in the laundry, but I will try to keep the sewing duties if possible. Kein was surprised about the Atwater Camp, as it is not like the regular prison he is used to in Burma. Doris, Diana and Kein had a great time during the visitation. Showered at 12:00 PM.
