Dale has been on vacation this past week working on his El Camino, tanning in the backyard & taking it easy. Tonite we're finishing it off by going out to dinner, 6 pm reservation at Nickel Inn, with Lar & Kim. They got home late Thus. pm after a nice week in Fla. with her sister & family.
They have 6 cats but they were closed in their bedroom so they wouldn't bother Larry...his allergy. But both Woody & Debbie are chain smokers & that bothered both Lar & Kim. Now they have 2 dogs & a beagle is only 6 weeks old & not trained in any way. So Kim started to train him to go outside to the bathroom. She bot leashes for both dogs & each A.M. Lar, Kim, Eric & I can't remember the girl's name walked the dogs. Then the 4 of them went roller blading. Woody & Debbie had vacations so they went different places.
Torey was a basket case. The 1st day he spent under Lar's truck. He improved some but the last day, he carried his toy bunny all around & tried to bury it several times during the day. Kim came over on Fri. & Torey was excited to see us so you can imagine how he acted when Lar & Kim came home.
One of my favorite authors is M. C. Beaton & detective Hamish McBeth. The stories are so good & not too lengthy. I'll enclose an item from the Sun. Buffalo paper. Also another item I forgot to enclose the last time. Cats & libraries.
As of today the Mets are 1/2 game behind Atlanta. Wonder what it will be next letter. But they've been playing very well. Have a great infield & their new pitcher Dotel, only 23, is a great one. So now my hopes are high for the wild card.
This A.M. the Conewango Clippers, a men's chorus, sang in church. Ray Forstom preached for Gary & he is a chorus member. They sang many well known hymns & were well received.
Wait til you walk down 2nd Ave toward town. The nursing home between Water & East sts. have built a high fence by one side. When I walked home on Fri. Jack Spenser (Meth. pastor) & a neighbor were taking about it. Jack said how do you like our "stockade". They got a permit but the neighbors didn't know anything about it & aren't very happy. It must be 8' high.
I'm so happy we have A.C. as this has been a long hot summer so far. We've kept it going several days running. Last nite it cooled off so I turned it off & today it is better & less humid. Suppose to be cooler on Tues. & I hope it's true so I can do some baking. Did make zucchini bread & a coffee cake. We have lots of zucchini from the garden & I want to try a choc. zucchini cake Kim has made & Lar says it's good. Cucumbers are also ripe & tomotoes have formed & are growing.
