Saturday, June 22, 1991

Dad says thanks for the Father's Day greetings - the pictures of the boys are so good - I know we're missing a lot but that's how the ball bounces!  The one of Andy on the bed with Paul & Eddie looks like he has a real satisfied smile.  His world is great.  And Eddie is such a "doll", even if he is a boy.  You are very lucky parents.

Today Ed & Gen are entertaining the Swedish Vasa lodge - at their place.  Pot luck picnic.  I know they've been busy inside & out but I'm sure Edith is helping & maybe Edna as they are members.

The Carey wedding was great.  Lar & Kim told us all about it.  Figured the dress was in the $1500.00 range.  At the country club first they served hors d'oeuvres - expensive ones - caviar, etc.  For the meal, which was buffet -- delicious & tender Prime Rib, fresh salmon, etc.  About 25 were Lisa's friends, the rest Dr. & wives & important people.  Lar & Kim sat with Jack's secretary & her husband.  Lisa's husband has 2 sons, oldest is 16, both were there.  Paula has a b.f. & is living with him.  It must have really cost them a bundle - Mrs. C said they'd have to increase the coffer before there would be another wedding.

We celebrated Kim's birthday & Father's day together as she planned a picnic for her coed group on Fri.  She loved your gift Barbara.  Mon nite they went to Galen's golf supply & each got a putter as they could turn in their old ones for a rebate plus the sale price so they did OK.  I got her another gift - have you seen the mop dolls - Debbie at Penney's Salon makes them & made one for me & it is so cute.  Kim had seen one at a friends last week & loved it so was pleased to get one.  It will go in their new bedroom.

At the last trustee's mtg - one of the men talked to Lar about the apt. & Lar told them what he'd like to do.  He told Lar to go ahead with plans & get an estimate for the board.  He said to plan on a furnace too.  That really pleased them.  The present bedroom would become a dining room & the large room where Mrs C. painted could become 2 bedroom & a bath.  They'd have 3 bedrooms & one would be an office.  We hope it works out for them.  He wants a fellow from Youngsville to do the work & he came to look it over.  Lar is busy but has plans in mind.

This Thurs. the 27th we meet Warren & Anna again at Cook's Forest & go out to eat & then play miniture miniature golf (decided to look up the correct spelling).

Dale says he's taking the 2nd week of July as vacation.  No plans.

Tell Andy I'm crying because the Mets are in 3rd place & they can't seem to win when they need to.  Sid should be back in a couple of weeks.

Rijo did a foolish thing for the Reds by stealing (trying to) 2nd & breaking his ankle.  It will be Pitts. vs. L.A. in the playoffs.  Dale is happy.

Dad plays 9 holes of golf twice a week with Don from Jamestown.

Erie is having its problems with random shooting from cars - rival gangs.

In today's paper a couple were camping out at Heart's Content & they were shot at.  They are investigating the matter.

The neighbors (at Conewango) are having a yard sale.  Guess they plan only to have 2 children as baby things were for sale & not just clothes.  Larger articles in the nursery.

Guess I've rambled enough.

Sat nite P.S.

Rose stopped by & talked with us on the porch.  Karen & Rick sold their house & will move in July.  They got the price they wanted.  Rose said Segals are the riches people in Warren.  Rick has been there a year now & he'll get a raise.  I didn't realize Elliot S. was married & is expecting a child.  But he didn't marry a Jew so they won't recognize the child.  Rose said the junk yard makes a lot of money - no one else could keep up with their business.  Rick was lucky to get the job - they approached him as Mrs. S. worked with Rick on borough council.  Rick & Karen are in Montreal this week on vacation.

A single woman bot the house & she wanted papers signed before their vacation.  She teaches in the nursing dept. at Jamestown Community College.  House only on the market 2 weeks.

We're eating lettuce from the garden.  Lettuce has been expensive so decided to use garden lettuce & save.  Goodby again!
