We are having cold weather & have about 4" of snow. We have been able to see the full moon & it is always beautiful.
We are enjoying our Christmas tree - we have more red bows on it this year & they make it even prettier. Have made cookies but decided just to make the ones we like best -- molasses, Spritz, tea cakes & the 2 regulars Choc. chip & Oatmeal raisin. Got fruit for a fruit cake - figs, prunes & apricots but we are eating them plain rather than in a cake.
Lar & Kim leave Thurs. the 21st from Jamestown & we'll bring them in - will have to get up early. We'll pick them up a week later & that nite they'll come for dinner & we'll have the exchange of gifts with them. This Sat nite - 16th - they are having a party. Barb & Dale are invited but I doubt if they'll go. They expect 100 & that will be a big crowd - of course some won't be able to make it.
This aft. we have to go to the funerl home. Don Lyle died of cancer. His wife Sara & I worked together at Beaty. Not the Lyle's from our church. He was 65 & had been sick several years. Many operations, etc. One son is Lar's age & they were in Scouting together.
3 schools were closed & they are up for sale. Irvendale school bids were opened and a church had the high bid but no final decision yet. A church of God outside of Wrrn. wants it.
Yesterday bids were opened for Lacy & Anderson's Mkt. wanted it as they have no place to enlarge their present bldg. It means rezoning so I'm sure they'll be opposition. That's usual for Wrrn, it seems.
Fri. nite we were suppose to go out with the regular pastor friends but it was postponed due to conflicts. So we are able to go out with the Warren Luth. pastors & wives (1st group takes precedence). We'll go to Jefferson House for dinner.
We've been getting cards from friends we hear from once a year & we enjoy their greetings & the picture cards. We keep saying we should send a picture greeting but we don't seem to get to it.
Even heard from Stacy's wife (Anita's son) & they have a baby David. We didn't get an announcement for the birth. He was married at 18.
Stella is very happy with her move. Sounds like it's cold up there but she says they only have 2" of snow - the big amts. missed I.M.
I have to wrap our gifts - plan to do it on Fri. That's a do nothing much day.
The library starts the Computer system tomorrow the 15th. We have our new cards. I've been reading more mystery-detective stories lately.
Fri. the 22nd Warren & Anna Hollertz plan to be in Wrrn. so we'll meet them for lunch. Think we'll go to the Jefferson House.
We are all fine here & we send you our love.
