Dad has a fire in the fireplace (where else) & it's cozy sitting here.

Just finished talking to Geo. & Signe - they called us.  We talked about the lake & told them that we wouldn't be going to the lake.  They had the same idea because they will be moving into their new apt in July.  So we put it off until '88 & see what happens.  We're glad they're not disappointed.  Roland had asked about it, but they wouldn't want to be up there if you weren't' there.  So we'll visit Ed & Gen in July & you folks after the baby comes.  Is that O.K.?

Today we were in Mt. Jewett & we enjoyed being there.  Went to Benson's for dinner & I'm enclosing the recipe that we had today & it is delicious.  And easy to fix - maybe it might appeal to you.  I plan to fix it soon.

Next Sat. nite we are going to a Valentine Dinner with the Holy Trinity group.  Pat & Don Greendahl called & wondered if we'd like to.  It will be at Marvin House, Jamestown.  Suppose to have good food.  Think it's in Lakewood.  (It isn't - downtown Jtown.  It was fun - delicious meal.)

The next Sat. is another Valentine Dinner with the group at Hessel Valley.  This will be at the Maplehurst County Club.

Last nite we watched "Witness for the Prosecution" on channel 3.  Really enjoyed it.  No ads either.

Not much happening around here.  Quite a bit of snow to shovel.  Dad gets his eyes examined on Wed.  Days are getting longer & that is nice.

Now it's a week later & I'll finish this to enclose in your Valentine.  Also a little gift that could go toward a movie or fish dinner.  Enjoy!

We had lunch at the Holiday Inn & looked into the cost of rooms.  We'll also check at Penn-Laurel as we can't wait too long.  Figure Gen & Ed, Edna & Wally, Signe & Geo. & whoever else of the relatives come they will stay in one or the other.  Penn Laurel will be cheaper but H. Inn nicer.

We chose wallpaper for the eating area, got it, put on 2 panels, didn't like how it went on; returned unused rolls & chose a new paper.  The walls are all set to go so I hope Dad can get to it this week.  The 1st choice wasn't the vinyl we expected.  Now we have the right vinyl.  The old was pieced after the new window went in - maybe others couldn't see it but we could.

How's everything with you.  We are all fine here.
