It is snowing & we're suppose to get up to 6".  Last Sat & Sun we had a taste of spring - temp. in the hi 50s.  Just wore a suit to church on Sun.

This Fri. we go out with our pastor friends & we'll go to The Gristmill in Jamestown.  We should have a good meal & good time.

We are still enjoying the flowers you gave us.  It has been such a pretty centerpiece & we thank you so much.

Dale joined a C.D. disc club & got 5 discs yesterday.  Dad is thinking of joining a different one.

Levina K. is still in the hosp.  She had an operation for a growth in the rectum & is having trouble with the kidneys.  Chuck Decker had a heart attack & he was talking twice a day - to Perkins in the A.M. & to Mr. Donut in the aft!  He also smoked a pipe.  He's been retired for about a year.

I read 2 excellent books this past week.  The Velvet Jungle by Julie Ellis.  Too Much Too Soon by Jacqueline Briskin.

Larry is working on the kitchen & it's coming slowly.  Kim is dreaming of a hutch so she can get her dishes etc. out of boxes.  They've been looking.

Larry & I (changed my mind) were happy that Wn. [Washington] won - the rest rooted for Denver & got disgusted after the 2nd quarter.

I moved the desk from the kitchen into the living room - under the mirror on the west wall and it looks real nice.  Suppose you wonder why - well I ordered a trash compactor from Sears - & that is the only place to put it.  Where the desk was.  I've been thinking about one for some time & can afford to buy it so I did.

Still no oven.  If he doesn't come tomorrow we're calling someone else.  I made a mistake when I looked in the yellow pages & found his name.

Raymond Stein died - some time ago but never thought to mention it.

When you're here over the 4th you'll most likely see Renee.  Should be a nice visit for you with the reunion, etc.  Nice for us, too, to have you 3 home.

Sig & Geo. called last Sat. to wish us a belated Happy Anniv.  No special news.

Last Sat. we went to a 25th anniversary for Carol (Anderson) & Bob Winterburn.  They live in Jamestown & Dad married them.  We enjoyed ourselves.  It was at Holy Trinity Luth. Ch.

Do you ever watch Frank's Place on C.B.S.  We enjoy it .  Set in New Orleans.  It's coming on pretty soon so I'll say good by for now.
