Last Fri. we saw the interior of Lar and Kim's property and it is very nice. There was a leak in one corner so Larry was patching that up. He took off the paneling, took it home, rubbed it down and put a finish on it. He was working on that when we were there. I brot out coffee and cookies so he took a break. Kim had been there but she had to leave as she is helping at the YM with the gymnastic program. He got a corner shower stall on sale but won't get to working on changing the bathroom til next fall. Future plans are to enclose the larger porch, put in picture windows and have like a Fla. room off the kitchen. It would give them a lovely view. He has lots of ideas but they will take time to put into action - time and money.
GOSSIP - Sharon Keefer (they were at the Memorial Day picnic) told Kim that her husband left her. Said she was getting to nag, etc. and he wanted time away. Said there is no other woman. Guess it was quite a shock to Sharon.
Remember the girl Kim mentioned replied to an ad for a nanny. She had 3 interviews but they didn't appeal to her so she is babysitting and waiting. She sits for Dorn's and she told Kim that Dorn's really miss you. This gal was asked by New Process to come in for an interview as they are opening a business in Japan so if that works out she will probably take it.
We got our Sears catalog, in fact we got 2 but we took one back to the store. Don't see anything special that I'd like, altho there are some nice things in it.
Next Mon. we get eye examinations and will get new glasses, frames, etc. Think I'll get sun glasses also.
Before long I will have all my squares (63 needed) made for the afghan so I have held off making them as we usually have to wait to see the eye Dr. and want to have something to do so I have been putting 500 pc. puzzles together and enjoying that. Still watch a lot of CNN and war news. I'm addicted to it.
Last nite was Ash Wed. Service at church and afterwards we had coffee hour and the circle I'm in served cake and coffee. It was nice and now we are relieved that we can just enjoy the coffee hour after the service from now on. Rose S. brot a choc. cake with a special frosting - a recipe she got from Jim's wife - and she said she would bring the recipe to circle next week. It's really rich and delicious.
I can't mail this letter until tomorrow as Dale's picture should be in the paper. Yesterday he received a Seiko mantle clock from work and has his picture taken with sales rep. Reason 5 years as Master Technician. His name is on the clock - D. P. Nelson and it also has 5 years Master Tech. on it. He's getting more things for an apt. and I asked him when he was going to get one. He said he'll put the clock back in the box and store it. But until Lar and Kim come next Tues. I put it on the Mantle and we want to get a battery for it so we can hear the tone. It should strike on the hour and maybe more. We didn't know anything about it but last nite Jack Hoffman mentioned to Dad that he'd been at Shults and said Dale was getting some kind of an award and the newspaper photo. was there. We're always the last to know. Dale said he was told on Mon. about it.
This a.m. I cleaned out the closet in the little room and put a lot of the yarn in a bag for the Salvation Army. Right now we have quite a lot to bring over there.
Been reading library books. If Tomorrow Comes & Windmills of the Gods by Sidney Sheldon and enjoyed them. Have Nightwork by Irwin Shaw to read.
Weather not that good this week but last week we got several walks in.
Better bring this to an end. We are all fine here and send you all our love.
P.S. Sat AM. No picture in paper yet. Will send it in next letter. W. Hollertz called & he had to come to the dentist in Wrrn so we're meeting them for lunch at Noiban's. I'm fixing the turkey Dale got (2nd one) for supper & invited Lar & Kim so we'll play our favorite game - "Categories".
We have more snow - at least 6"-8" & it's cold. Suppose to warm up next week.
Ed Ryberg is home from the hosp. Paul is home - taking sabbatical.
