What a wonderful day we've had & I'm sitting on the front porch having just finished my dessert - fresh strawberry pie & coffee. We really appreciate today after a week of colder, rainy which was needed) weather. In the A.M. the furnace went on & the heat felt good.
We're going to Lar & Kim's Sat. nite instead of Sun. as they have a chance to play golf. It is better for us as it is an evening Nascar race & Barb & Dale can't miss it. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is racing in this race. He got a big contact backing from Budweiser. Too many distractions when I'm outside so forgive the mistakes.
The Memorial Fund got a $50.00 gift from Dr. & Mrs. Robert Weiss (Mary Berglund). In memory of Dad, Lar planted a tree & put the ashes under it. We'll see where it is tomorrow nite.
Dale got an edge trimmer (lawn) that is battery operated at K Mart. It works good. He looked at Hoover vacuum cleaners & plans to buy one. It has a filter, etc. It will be for downstairs. The present one will go upstairs. So I told Barb she can have the old upstairs one for a rummage sale. She has a table at Lynn's sale.
I really miss shopping at County. Now it's Quality & BiLo & I have to get used to where things are. We plan to go to the Mall tomorrow - sale at Bon Ton. Got groceries today at Bi Lo.
I'm watching T.V., switching between Mets & Astros & Braves & L.A. Randy Johnson is beating the Mets 7-1 & L.A. is ahead of Atlanta. Also trying to plan menus for the week that might be different from the usual.
We had a nice time at Lar & Kim's last nite. It is such a peaceful place to sit & enjoy the get together. Lar planted geraniums in the tub by the front porch & they look very attractive to passer bys.
What kind of a furnace will you get. Will it involve lot of changes seeing you have 2 furnaces now - pipes, etc.
L. A.-Braves are tied 4-4. Johnson always leave the pitcher in too long. Did the same thing when he was with the Mets. Mets are bad because their good pitchers are ailing.
Dale was telling us Randy Swanson passed out in the rest room at the Cornerstone. Dale asked him what he was drinking - some kind of mixed drink. Dale told him he'd better stick to beer. He said Randy isn't that bright & he doesn't need alcohol to dull his brain anymore.
Nice to talk to you on the phone. Nice to hear Andy tell us about his triple. That is great.
Mon. Memorial Day.
Lar came over & dug up by the garden in that little area that leads to the clothes line. Very uneven & hard to walk on when I want to hang out clothes. Dale will buy square slabs of stone to put there.
Lar put some bark or something by the D.R. landscaping & we need to get more to finish. Such an improvement. The back yard walkway will be so nice once it's finished. Dale saw what he likes & will buy them.
Don't think I wrote (too lazy to look back) that Dale bo't the vacuum cleaner yesterday at Big K. Haven't tried it out yet. So he's spending the money on what used to go for his nites out. He's home every nite now.
Time to write to Gen.
