It is really cool & cloudy & we've had rain this weekend which was sorely needed. But where is our warm June weather. The next letter I could complain about the heat.
I've been reading again & have come to the conclusion that some authors are like preachers. They hem & haw, repeat themselves & don't know when to say AMEN. I always remember what one pastor said - "It's no use preaching when the congregation has said Amen."
Barb is painting the laundry area. Took off the wallpaper etc. & has part of it completed. A beige & the cupboards will be a shade lighter. Will look nice.
Last letter I said my dryer wouldn't work. When Dale tried it, it made a noise & then no noise & the dryer was O.K. A coin or something must have gotten in & somehow slipped out.
Fri. nite Barb & I went to Sears & I spent more of the money from Edna. We're getting a Maytag washer, dryer, & dishwasher. The W & D will be in the 17th - Lar will take away the old ones & when the painting is completed we'll get them delivered. The dishwasher won't be in til the 29th. No more noisy equipment. Lar wants the old W & D so he can wash his dirty work clothes (mud, dirt, etc.) He'll put them in their basement.
Barb got a gallon of paint & will have some left over. So she wants to tear off the Back entry paper & paint it the same color. She can do as she pleases as long as I don't have to.
The baseball game sounded like fun. If it was on ESPN, I'm sure we watched it.
Kim had 30 teachers at the baby shower for 2 of the Sheffield teachers at camp. They loved the house. By the steps from the deck, Lar built a brick sidewalk using the bricks from the chimney from the old bldg. Kim said it looks so nice. We'll have to take a ride out there. The den is all done except for the final floor. A rug is covering it for now. Lar's too busy with extra work.
I just had a little nap - my eyes wouldn't stay open. Now the Braves vs. Montreal are on T.V. It looks a little brighter outside. (I sure now "now".)
Dad received about 50 cards for his 55th anniv. Reading the cards bro't tears to his eyes. The pastor bro't the cards over & he stayed awhile to visit. I asked about his oldest daughter who finished an additional degree. She hasn't decided on a job yet. She visited Beloit College - a job as asst. of student housing. They asked her are you a Christian. When she said yes - they replied you wouldn't like it here. We allow drinking & drugs on campus. Then when she went into the cafeteria to eat 2 women were "making out". So she wouldn't be happy there even if the pay was much higher than other offers. I was surprised to hear that & I'm sure Melinda wouldn't exaggerate. What do you think . I was surprised.
When I got home from church today, Dad said "Why did you tie me into this chair." Needless to say, I didn't. Sometimes he has trouble working the lift chair. His fingers don't have the strength or he can't find the cord.
Mon A.M. Have a few minutes before I get lunch. Got 4 thank you notes off as 4 members put a money gift in their card. Also wrote a note to Bertha Nelson who had a niece send a card to Dad.
It's another cloudy day.
Barb has parts of 2 walls completed in the laundry room. A darker beige & will have lighter cupboards. The color is nice. Glad she likes to do that as I don't.
Barb & Kim are on Cloud 9. Bulls Win, Bulls Win! Now will the team break up.
Better bring this to a close.
