Tuesday, August 23, 1988

Guess it's time to write a letter as it's a rainy early evening - dark & cool.  Dale is on vacation this week & wants nicer weather.  He has been working on the latest El Camino & it looks so nice.  It is a bright blue & looks beautiful  now that it has been painted.l  Still a few things to do but with Dale he can always find things to do on a car.

I'm enclosing a couple of recipes that sound interesting, esp. the rolls.  Nice because they can be started the nite before & bake in the A.M.  Haven't tried them yet but plan to.  Made a fresh blueberry pie & I'll enclose the recipe.  Easy & tasty.

Dad has a wedding next Sun. at 11 A.M.  Remember Tom Carlson (has a br4other Doug, Father Bud) he asked Dad to marry them - it will be at Chapman Dam & a picnic reception at 1 pm./  Tomorrow nite is the dinner - can't call it rehearsal as there is no rehearsal.  Will be at Deerhead Inn.

Had a long letter from Gen & she keeps busy.  Edna's 75th party will be at their home (more room for 30) but Wally's family will bring the food.  Gen & Ed have the space.  The next day friend of John at work will have a picnic at Gen's & they will bring the food.

Last nite I was up until 1:15 AM to watch the Mets beat J. Tudor & L.A.!!  7-1.  Finally a good game.  Will stay up tonite again.  Dad goes to bed around 11.  This week we can sleep in a bit.

Andy must be cute walking around & keeping Mom & Dad busy!


Watching N.Y. news & the state police are getting Mustangs that go up to 150 m.p.h. to catch speeders.  Now we're watching golf from Portland.

Kim's studio is coming along & should be finished for the Sept. opening.  It has kept them busy.


Just finished an excellent book Susquehanna by Harriet Segal.  About a Jewish family starting with the grandfather in Russia, the move to U.S. & then centering on the grandson.  Really enjoyed it.  Also read Lace some weeks ago.  Enjoyed it but it was on the sexy side.  This one wasn't.


Lar just came by.  I meant to have the blue. pie for dinner last nite & about 4 pm I remembered & then it was too late.  So I said they should come by tonite for a piece.

This weather is nice for baking & having oven meals.

Not much happening.  We made reservations for the trip to Williamsburg with Rex Graham.  Oct 12-16.  Wed-Sun.  Will celebrate my birthday on the trip.

We are all fine.

P.S. hope you can understand my pie recipe.
