I need a rest period after cleaning downstairs, except the kitchen floor & last minute spots. Was up at 6:10 A.M. so I could see the women's hockey, USA v. Can. It didn't start til 7 A.M. but I got breakfast going, etc. So I "earned" a rest. The game was so good & "we" won. They all sang the Nat. anthem after the medal presentations. It was very moving.
Last Sun. was another highlight as Dale Earnhardt won the Daytona 500. It was so exciting at the finish & all of us were thrilled he finally won. Tell Eddie Earnhardt finally won. Last summer he felt bad for D. E. when he wasn't winning any races.
I'm trying to cut down on coffee - mine is weak anyway. Sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep but I don't think it's the coffee. It's hard to see Dad go down - sometimes he thinks it's time to go home; wonders who will give him a ride; doesn't know where he sleeps, etc. It's not easy to watch when he had such a good mind.
Fri A.M. This A.M. at breakfast Dale told me news that would interest you folks. Concerning Rocky Logan. This came from Randy Swanson, whose father owned Penn Alignment. When he retired Randy continued to work there - and Rocky had bot an interest in the business. But he never worked in the business, leaving the work to Randy. So Randy quit & now works at Shults. Well Rocky never paid the bill s- owes $10,000 to Barnhart Davis & more to another Co. So there will be a sheriff's sale. Wonder what Marty thinks of this. A sidenote - the senior Swanson married Mrs. Powell, widow of Henry Powell, who was principal of Beaty.
Our luncheon was very nice yesterday. Ted Benson told us some Swede jokes his son got off the internet. "Ole" & Swen & I can't remember the other name. Many were sent in by Luth. pastors. Ted uses the Swedish accent. Last nite Kim was telling something in the same vein. Her friend got them off the internet. If you have a question you can call an 800# & get help. One was a woman wondered where the "any" button or key was - she couldnt' find the "any key". That one stands out in my mind & there were several others.
Anna H. couldn't come as she had another hip replacement - they use a cement & that had to be removed so it was a 5 hr. operation. She has to take it easy. Last time she didn't take the time to let it heal. In Mar. they are going to Disney World & April to St. Martins (think it's spelled differently). They get around. d In May Ted & Pat are going on an Alaskan cruise. Will fly to Vancouver & leave from there.
We got your computer written letter & are anxiously awaiting the next one. I share the letter with Lar & Kim & tell Barb & Dale the news as they are too lazy to read your epistles.
Just heard that Tara L. got the gold in skating & I was hoping Michelle K. would get it. She had a misstep & that did it. Was also disappointed when Todd E. didn't medal.
Mon. nite the 23rd. (above news sounds old now.)
Called Gen & John enjoyed his trip & plans to go again.
Also called Ruth as we've heard nothing about the "sisters". Guess all are the same. Lila hasn't really recovered from her operation. Uses a walker & her mind isn't clear. Stella is in the nursing care now as she needs more help.
Joan's son is getting married in May. The oldest daughter is in Grand Rapids - has her own apt.
Rachel went to England during the holidays & met a fellow over there & they fell for each other. He came over here to visit & would like to get a job here. So maybe there will be another wedding in the future. Ruth met him & said he is nice.
Got your letter today & it was interesting. Glad all is back to normal again. Pictures of Eddie are so cute - the boys are growing. Jeans will get higher & higher in cost. Good Dad can find his at a cheaper cost. Couldn't Andy have used the Valentine 5.00 for a bike lock.
We're suppose to get some snow tonite. Bulb flowers are sprouting. Better sign off.
