We haven't heard anymore from Dale but Roger Thelin called and said that they wanted to do some testing so he won't get work release for 3 week.s Hope he will learn patience.
Gen called last nite and said they were putting in an in ground swimming pool. They hope it will be completed so they can use it this year. Will have underwater lights. Maybe we'll visit them next 4th of July. She is getting used to retirement altho she does help out at work now and then. The boss wants her to be available for minutes of annual mtgs, etc. and she just as soon stay in touch. Ed will work for 1 more year.
I've had to stay busy to forget things so last week I cleaned Dale's bedroom and got rid of some things he never wears. Got a new bedspread from Sears and it came today. Plan to get new draperies. Yesterday I cleaned the guest room and rearranged the dresser and it looks nice.
This a.m. we went out to breakfast with Benson's from Mt. Jewett. They had to bring their car to Warren for a check up as they leave for Atlanta tomorrow. We had a nice breakfast at Perkins and sat and talked for quite awhile.
USA Today gave Dick Howser's address and I sent him a card. Have you noticed how well the Mets are doing. Just hope the incident in Houston won't harm them.
Lar and Kim will drive with us and we won't be able to leave til Fri. noon and will go as far as Toledo. You won't have room for 4 of us so will you get a motel for us for the 2 nites. It will be nice to see y our apt. and to visit with you even tho it will be a short one. We got a carrier for the top of the car so it will be nicer not to have the back so crowded. Larry teased Kim about taking too much stuff - hope she doesn't feel we got it because of that. We should have had it last year.
Last Sun. dad preached at St. Paul and it was hard but he did real well and everyone was so glad to hear him again. Today we got a note from Paul Johnson (Buchanan St.) saying how much he liked having Dad back and saying you don't appreciate things until you don't have them. A nice note.
Dad is putting new downspouts in the front of the house. He is also thinking of siding for the house...hopes to do it himself.
Back to visiting you. We will leave for the lake on Fri. and be with you that nite and Sat. and leave for home on Sun. That way we shouldn't run into a lot of traffic.
Have you heard anything concerning Barb. We haven't heard since the wedding.
We had a lot of excitement on our St. last Wed. 3 fire trucks stopped in front of Africa's and naturally the neighbors gathered to see what happened. They were out and had left a pan on the stove and it burned dry. No damage except lots of smoke. The next nite Kim stopped by. She had been to her grandmothers but she wasn't home. In front of Quality Mrkts. a lot of people had gathered and as she came closer to town and crossed the 5th Av. bridge people were looking into the creek, also 3rd Av. bridge. A 15 yr. old had been swimming with 2 other boys and he didn't make it and was swept away. They should have known better as with all the rain the creek was high and very swift. The body was found Mon. Parents were divorced and he was visiting his mother this summer.
We're going to Jamestown later this aft. so will get this ready to mail.
Lar & Kim are thinking of the 3rd Sat of May for their wedding. She has seen a dress she likes.
