It's warming up & the huge icicles on most homes are melting. This yr. the front porch ceiling formed icicles from dripping. An article in the paper said they were due to too warm an attic & open up vents, etc. I opening up a window. Don't need any roof or eaves damage.
The furnace started making a noise so I finally called & a man came & found the gasket wasn't in right. It's fixed & no noise anymore. He said it was good I called as eventually it would have stopped working.
Wrote a note to Signe as her birthday is the 19th. Talked to Gen Sat. U& they have plenty of snow to shovel. All is well there.
We have some new TV channels. ESPN2, AMC, Encore, & Learning Channel. Have seen some good movies on AMC. Last nite we watched "Pride & Prejudice" on A&E & really enjoyed it. On for 3 nites in a row - tonite U& Tues from 9-11 pm.
Tomorrow is Circle & I'm leader. We're looking into other religions. I got one study from the Bible Book Store & put it in a "safe place" & I can't find that safe place. Noticed among Dad's books one on 7th Day Adventists - a book sent to clergy to explain their views so I'm using that. Have never known much about them but they believe in the Triune God, Virgin birth, Jesus as Saviour, etc. but they dwell in the O.T. a lot & naturally their Sabbath is Sat. & they spend a lot of time trying to decide when Christ will come, the end of the world, prophecy, etc. I have really enjoyed learning about them.
Sat. Barb & I went to see Lar & Kim's house. He's finishing up on the insulating. Has put in the wood stove so he had a little warmth. The partitions make it easier to visualize the rooms, etc. Blair's home looks great. Outside not completed yet. They've started the siding. It would be fun to see that house when they're settled. Maybe Lar & Kim will get a chance & they can tell us.
Tori & "his sister" were at camp playing in the snow. If we pay attention to Ginger, Tori gets so jealous. Sometimes Kim walks him around & later one nite they were across the st. & Tori sat down & wouldn't move. She pulled & he went a bit & sat down again. If he comes in he gets a snack & remembers that. But not that nite.
LaVerne Mathis & Leo Rossey died last week. La V has been ill for a long period of time, but Mr. Rossey was in church regularly. He was in the hosp. 18 days & was coming along fine. But he had a stroke & died.
Don't remember if you remember Debby Schorman - Barb's age. Her husband, Ron California, was killed in a freak accident at work. 42 years. Leave 4 children. They were married in '73 so maybe the children aren't that little. Lived in Meadville. He was C. E. O. of a wood products co. & only been there 1 year.
Marissa has been sick with strep throat & viral infection.
Things are as usual here . I'm able to walk every Fri. A.M. to get my hair done. On cold days I wear long underwear. Around Mar. I won't have to walk as far - they're moving to the basement of the old Betty Lee Bldg. We'll give them more space & the Elks Club would like to buy the house they're in now. So if the owner should sell they won't be in a bind. Am written out!
We send love & hugs to all of you. We are lucky to have you 4.
