Wed. Bensons and Hollertzs are coming for lunch. I'll fix a chicken dinner with vienetta & cookie for dessert.
I got a start on the rolls for Betty G. Mailhot. She called this A.M. to check & ask me how much they'd be. I didn't want money so I said a gift to Hospice or the animal shelter. I don't want to start baking rolls to sell. They have to be done by 9:30 so I'll get up early. Have things ready to go - pans, etc.
Got your letter today as well as the Christmas letter. That was a surprise - it's only the 10th!!!
Had a Dr. appt. this aft. The thyroid makes my eyes funny so he gave me a new prescription. Start with 4 pills 3 times a day & by the end of the month I go down to 3 pills, 3 times a day & then I have to see him Dec. 27th at 3:45. Blood pressure & weight O.K.
Law & Order is on so I'm not sure if I can write & listen at the same time.
Last Wed. Betty C. & I went to lunch at The Plaza. They are always crowded & the food is good.
Yesterday I got a permanent & today the Dr. Next week nothing except Wed. But that means cleaning the house & some baking. Cardamon rolls as they love them.
When you're here we'd like to go out to eat but it would be in Warren & the best place is Holiday Inn. We can decide when you're here.
Kim took a personal day last Wed. Worked at home & did errands. Next weekend they go to a party & wear dressy clothes. Kim has a long black skirt & wanted a new top. She went o the Salvation Army Store & found a top - never worn. Price tag was 60.00 & Kim got it for 3.00. The clerk asked her if she had seen the red dress made by the same co. Kim looked at it. Also new, her size & she got it for 6.00.
Last Mon. we went to Jamestown & I saw a dress I liked. A Lesley Fay. Tried it on & liked it. 2 piece. A print, pleated skirt & a plain light purple top. Feels good on me so I got it - on sale but had to pay tax in N.Y. Got a cute jumper & turtleneck at Walmarts for the little girl I wrote about. Good prices at Walmart.
It was a good Law & Order. I like the dark haired D.A. He's good.
P.S. Almost forgot. Good report card for Andy. I hope he makes the Honor Roll next time. Now you're a parent & want your child to do his best. I felt the same way!! Only you "guys" didn't cooperate. I hope Andy will.
Just remembered I changed the gift for Eddie. It cost more than the one I tho't I'd send.
Now it's Sat. aft.
Was up at 5:30 this A.M. & had the rolls ready before 9:30. Then I made us a coffee cake & 2 kinds of cookies.
Took it easy for awhile & this aft. finished trimming the tree. Looks nice.
I know from letters, Eddie like to help in the kitchen at times. I made the tea cakes that have to be rolled in powdered sugar & could have used his help. He might have enjoyed that. But it all got done.
Found a new idea for baked pot. Cut it in half lengthwise. Put a slice of onion & a slice of cheese between the 2 pot. Wrap in foil. & bake in oven. Delicious. Had them last Thurs & will again this Wed.
Did you notice Everett Borg died. Didn't give his age but I think he was at Upsala College when Frank C. was.
