Thanks you for a wonderful visit.  We enjoyed ourselves so much, esp. getting acquainted with Andy - loving him, kissing him, holding him, etc. etc.  He is so sweet.  We look forward to your visit.

Dale got some good news: Blackstone Corp, Jamestown, has a special contract to build radiators for Chrysler (at the Chrysler Proving Grounds Ariz.)  Dale was asked if he'd like to go out there as Blackstone wants 5-7 local mechanics to go out to Ariz. for a month (probably July) with all expenses paid plus their regular wage.  Dale said yes so we'll wait to hear more about it.  What a great experience for Dale.  My paragraph is mixed up - sounds like they'll build them out there the way I wrote - more as details come.

It sounds like Dale will be going to Chrysler Proving Grounds Ariz. for a month.  What he'll be doing I don't know & I don't think he does yet.

Reference to above paragraph written at the top of the page.  [That sounds funny.  Guess I'm tired.]

Got caught up on washing & did some dusting.  It's good to be home & have a routine again, even if its watching the soaps!  And the METS!!!  Have to wait til Tues. nite for that.

Barb made 2 blouses & is working on a skirt.

Lar did a wonderful job on their kitchen.  It is really nice.  They used a fine line stripe wall paper.  Hard to describe but nice.  You'll see it in July.

We mentioned the baptism & Kim was pleased.

In the accumulation of mail was a note from Debbie, cousin Larry's wife, and a picture of Brian at 20 mo.  He favors Larry.  She wrote a nice note.  I was surprised.  I'll write a thank you.  Fun to get a nice surprise like that.

The fellow got the soffit work on the house completed & it looks nice.  Today he said he'll be here tomorrow to complete the garage.  Needless to say, Dad was relieved he came and worked.  He is inexpensive, in demand & does good work.

Dad washed the car today & Dale helped him put the other seat back in.

Tomorrow we get groceries & at 11:30 AM to go the Senior Group at church.  A potluck & I made a salad tonite & have rye bread from the freezer.  Hope to go to Jamestown later on.  Go, Go, Go, that's me.
