Did I mention in my last letter Bob Morelli was in church last Sun. Today I noticed Tom M's son, Ben is as tall as his dad. He is a sophomore & could get taller. Tom has a tall wife. T hey have 2 boys & a girl, a nice family.
Today in church 2 gals in choir, & after the anthem, (they) each had their daughters in their arms. One is Jennifer Check & I can't remember her married name -- don't think you'd know her. The other was Chris Darling's wife & new daughter. Now I can't remember her first name. Her grandparents were active in the church but both have died. Not very informative, but it was nice seeing them in church. Jennifer's daughter is close to 6 months & the Darling baby could be 6 weeks. Both gals are best friends.
Lynn is having a big garage sale next weekend -- 22-23 -- & Barb is helping. She saw a vase she liked & described it to Kim. Kim wanted it as a gift for a friend who collect McCoy "stuff" -- from the '40s. Barb was able to get it for her. It's a yellow vase with a rose that stands out -- not flat against the vase. Very pretty & a collectible item. From Bob's home. His mom had some 20 vases to be sold. One of the vases we got at our wedding is a collectible now. I don't have it, tho. Tho't I gave it to Lar but he doesn't think he has it. Never tho't it that attractive. Tho't it would make a good lamp base.
The last week of Sept. Dale has a week of vacation & Lar will take a week off or time off & they'll work on the driveway. That will be so nice. Hope for nice weather.
Kim reads your letters & she said lot of kids don't even finish the milk mile (milk on my mind) & have to stop in between. Eddie He'll have to conquer his bicycle & do more riding.
Noticed that some favorite authors have best sellers. When I'm ready to read again, maybe they'll be available at the library.
Mon. the 18th
It was good to talk to both of you last nite.
Another nice day so I walked over to Cady's to get a card for Warren & Anna's anniversary.
Barb said Maris J. has been asked to the Homecoming Dance by several "guys", one a senior & Lynn wasn't too happy about that. She is a freshman this year. Scott got in trouble again. Pulling down someone's pants at recess & then locking all the doors in the boy's bathroom. Lynn said years past they'd get a spanking -- now they have to get professional help to see why he's doing these pranks. Poor Lynn.
Still watering our plants. We got 3 chrysanthemum plants & they are on the side by the back door. Soon the summer plants will be pulled up. I didn't realize begonias seeded themselves. I had some in the pots by the garage & the middle of Aug, I saw them coming up with the pansies. They look nice -- the small plants with a white flower & waxy looking leaves. Maybe they are perennials , but I didn't think so.
Barb's bed won't be sent until Oct 7th so she''l have to wait.
One of the kids at Sheffield, who has given Kim a lot of headaches has gotten his "comeuppance". He was caught with a stolen car & other stuff. Recently he was given house arrests for 30 days & has to wear something on his ankle so they know he is obeying. H e is able to go to school but must go straight home. His parents think he does nothing wrong & makes things hard for teachers, etc. who must deal with him. But they couldn't go up against the Judge so he had to take the punishment. Th ere was a big beer bust & most were Sheffield kids. Maybe you saw it in the paper. Shelia's (hair) husband wondered about buying a house in Sheffield but Sheila wouldn't hear of it. She gets the lowdown from her customers. And Clarendon is just as bad.
Have you noticed how Warren's school population is going down, down, down.
Time to quit..
