On Wednesday the 20th, LHO did not call at the usual time. On Thursday the 21st, Ruth arrived home from the grocery storeg around 5:30 PM to see LHO on her front lawn playing with baby June and Marina holding baby Rachel. This was the first time that LHO had ever appeared at her house without asking. Ruth parked her car in the driveway as usual and LHO helped her with the groceries. Ruth briefly greeted him, and he walked in first, while Marina privately apologized for his having come without asking. Ruth said it was OK; they suspected that this was LHO’s way of apologizing.
