We're watching the Mets.  Have you noticed how well the Mets are playing in Montreal.  Won 3 so far & are tied 1-1 at the moment.  (Didn't get the 4th win.)

My luncheon went over very well -= good food - good fellowship.  Dad enjoyed it as well.  They will come again the latter part of Aug.  Already have planned the menu.

Barb was on vacation this past week.  Wed. Barb, Kim & I went out to lunch at Jamie's place & we really enjoyed the food.  That was this past Wed.  We'll have to go when you're here.

Kim & Lar leave the end of this week to visit in Fla.

Troy called last nite to check on the colors for the house so he could order the materials.  He hopes to be able to start the end of the week.  Hope it's done by the time you're here.

Enjoyed reading your letter & the photographs.  And I tho't Eddie's drawing was so good.  The shape of the bodies are so good - esp. the batter.

Barb & I have been shopping the sales & have found a few things for the boys.  I got a 2nd hand bike for Andy to ride.  Kim said her friend Nancy has a girl's bike we can have so Eddie could ride that.  So bring their helmets.  The girl's bike is a banana bike.

Larry & Kim went to her class reunion last nite.  There were several of them.  Kim's was at the Conewango Club.  Barb went to the lake & babysat Marisa & Scott as it was Lynn's class reunion at the C. V. Country Club.  Barb stayed as Lynn & Bob didn't want to drive to the lake late at nite.

Finally got some library books & am enjoying them.

Mon. A.M.
Was on the porch watering my plants &^ Mary Ann Carey started walking her dogs so we talked a bit.  Paula would love to move back to Warren & her husband would if he could find work.  He is a lawyer & that could be a drawback for him in finding an opening here.  Mary Ann would like that move.  Don't think retirement is good for Mr. C. as he is drinking a lot.  One Thurs. nite he was trying to help Lar & he could hardly stand up & smelled alcohol.  Late aft. he always has a drink in his hand.

Today they are checking the Air Cond.  They come & check that in July & the furnace in Jan.  It's a humid A.M. & we had to turn up the heat so he could better check things out.  Now the A.C. is on so it will cool down.  It's cloudy & we might have showers.

It won't be long before we see you.
