He is working on the garage window by Carey's. Removing paint & will repaint it.
Mon. he leaves for Rochester for 3 days of school, returning Thurs around dinner time.
Last Wed. I went out to lunch with Betty Casey. We rode the bus & went to the Mall & ate at Ponderosa. It has been remodeled & is much nicer now. We had the buffet. We shopped a bit & took the bus home.
Yesterday, Sat, it reached the 90's & was HOT. We turned on the A.C. Not as bad today but humid & it's getting dark & showers are predicted.
I don't think I told you but our big storm a week ago was hard on Lar & Kim. Lightning hit & ruined a T.V., 2 telephones, & their computer. The new Phy Ed teacher suggested to Kim they go to Circuit City in Erie & check their computers. T hey have insurance -- $250.00 deductible.
Kim' sister & family might come this summer. They were planning to go to Fla. in July,but won't if her sister comes here. Kim said they'll have to take a couple of weekends & get away.
I received a letter from Warren Luthgren, my cousin in charge of Aunt Esther's estate & 6 of us, 1 nephew & 5 nieces, each received a check for $1,256.30. I put $1000.00 in the bank & it will go for the driveway project & I kept 256.00 for me. I'd like a suit next fall. I don't' know when the project will get started & your summer schedule sounds so busy so I don't know when you'll see it completed. I was surprised when there was that much money left since she was in the nursing home so long.
Yesterday A.M. I was at the library a little after 9 A.M. to return books & get more. Got one by Anne Perry: Bedford Square - I like her novels. Another one by Patricia Cornwell & a new author Luanne Rice: Follow the Stars Home. I didn't finish it. Felt it took too long to get into the story & I lost interest. I'm really on a reading binge!
Good for Eddie on his book report & that he did so well in 3rd grade. Hard to believe Andy will go into 7th & Eddie 4th grade. Time goes too fast.
Tues - June 13 - Gen's birthday. I'll call her later.
This is my day to clean upstairs -- the bathroom & my room. With the bedrooms looking so nice I decided to get rid of hte file cabinet in my room. That meant going thru papers & throwing out some of it. I found some letters hand written when you were in Mpls. & from U.B. so you'll have those to read plus other things. Cards, pictures, & think you'll enjoy going thru someday. I still have to dust my room -- it took quite awhile to go thru everything. Kim was over for awhile & we had coffee & talked. Tomorrow Lar & Kim are going to Erie to see about a computer. Vacation day for Lar. Torey will come over here to keep me company & vice versa.
Some time ago, I got a bedspread for Dale's bed for 20.00 but it didn't look that good.
Last nite Barb & I went to the Mall. Penney's had nothing we liked so we looked at Bon Ton & we found one & we think it looks good. Dale is away but he should like it. A nice contrast with the light walls & light gray rug.
Barb saw a set she liked so she got hers & they look nice -- a floral print. Sheets too. But she needed new valences & found some plain olive green & they look nice. So the upstairs is in pretty good shape.
Tonite we went to Perkins for supper but it wasn't that good.
K Mart had paper shredders on sale & I got one & have plenty to shred. Anything with credit numbers or S.S. number, etc. I don't like to just throw away so I try to cut them up. Now it will be easier. Stuff from Dad to throw out. Next I have to clean Dad's top drawer & get rid of more stuff.
Want to mail this tomorrow, Wed. so this is the end ofor rhis time.
