Kim's friend said she wouldn't mind having the twin mattress & spring that we had for Dad. She is the one who bought a house last summer & wanted to paint the room first. Tonite Lar & Dale brought it over. Then Dale decided to straighten up where the mattress was. H e has gotten rid of the old junk but a lot more is left up there. More power to him -- just so I don't have to do it. Sat. Lar & Dale took the old refrigerator out of the basement & to the junk yard -- someone who takes care of old refrig, stoves, cars, etc. Now he has a new shelf in it place to store his stuff. How could I be so lucky to have "kids" who like to clean & put things in order.
Last Fri. Barb & I went to Erie driving in the rain & it continued all day. We were successful in our purchases. Barb wanted to eat lunch at The Olive Garden but it meant crossing the street in a lot of traffic. So we decided to eat at The Fox & Hounds -- a pub. It is close to the mall, on the same side & easy to get to. We enjoyed it a lot. A new place -- we had fish & chips & they were very good. Even the coffee was excellent -- not bitter taste. In the rest room was a "spout" containing mouth wash & paper cups to use. I suppose for those who have a cocktail lunch but don't want the alcohol breath. Never have seen that, but then I'm not in many pubs!
What are you doing for your back. Don't neglect it!!
Wed A.M. the 15th
I'd better finish this or you'll be here before the letter arrives.
We awoke to show flakes this A.M. A wet snow. Flurries are predicted the rest of the week. Just hope the weather will be OK for your travel.
Did I say I have a 20 lb. turkey in the freezer. A Butterball. That should be enough for sandwiches on Fri. Bon Ton is having lots of coupon sales. Practically every weekend now.
Barb has been painting Bert's bedroom while she is in NYC and is about finished. She said it looks nice. Bert will be back for Thanksgiving.
Dale said they get their new uniforms for work today. He was late coming home Mon nite. Reason: stayed to clean up & put all the transmission tools near his working area. Found some tools he didn't realize they had. He's working on a truck whose transmission was ruined plus other things by carelessness. Cost $10,000. Insurance will pay but then this fellow will be dropped as he's taken advantage of the ins. co. Dale says the trans- fluid is suppose to be thin & this was very thick. And nit isn't an old truck. Dale doesn't appreciate people who don't take care of their vehicles. Kim gets irritated if people don't take proper care of their animals, esp. dogs. Leaving them out in zero weather, hitting them, etc. I'm sure we all feel that way. Torey gets more love than neglected kids. That's life, I guess.
