Dale will be home for Thanksgiving - it is counted as a work release day so I suppose he'll be home from 8-5. We'll eat at 1 pm. Mel & Levina will be here as well as Lar & Kim. Lar & Kim will also go to her grandmother's later. Dale will be home at Christmas so that makes me happy. Be nice if he could be here Christmas Eve & overnite. He is fine. It will be nice to see him & be able to talk to him.
We changed the wall paper in the dining room. What we had was stop gap - we couldn't find what we liked & what we ended up with was on sale. Dad is finishing up & it looks so nice. A lighter background & makes everything look so nice. He also plans to paper the eating area in the kitchen. Since the new window was put in, Dad had to patch by the window & it doesn't look right. He'll do it after the holidays. Have to have everything looking good for the relatives. Gen, Ed & John will come & I'm sure Edna & Wally will. We'll have to look into motels. Now they're talking about a 7 pm wedding & a reception at The Women's Club.
A week ago we went to Erie & ended up spending some money. At Dahlkemper's they had an entertainment center on sale & we got one. Put it together that nite & it looks good. We had to rearrange furniture, tho. Then we looked at T.V. & bot one at Sears. Cable ready, so we don't need a box. Now the stereo, V.C.R., T.V. are all in one spot & it's nice. Larry took the old T.V., which needed some work - new tubes, etc. & gave it to Kim's grandmother & she was pleased to get it. The entertainment center sits in the corner by the D.R., the outside wall & on an angle. Large sofa in front of hte window & love seat where the stereo was.
We had some snow but it didn't last. Been cold, tho.
Next Sun. Dad preaches at Wilcox (9 AM) & Johnsonburg (11 AM) for the pastor who is on vacation. It's hard to say no & it means getting up early.
I'm thinking of Christmas & hope you don't mind but we think we'll send you money & you can get what you'd like, plus some little things to open.
Do you have an address for Barb. She hasn't written & we will want to remember her at Christmas.
Soon it's time to watch Penn State-Notre Dame game. It should be a great game.
How was Roger's concert & your visit at Gr. Bay. Did Pat get the job he applied for.
All is well with us.
