Lynn asked Barb to work Mon-Thurs from 1-4:30 doing cleaning, changing beds, etc. Next week Bert has a cataract removed & wanted Barb to sit with her that aft. But Barb can't do it. Barb wondered, with all her friends, why Bert would need her.
I now watch Barney Miller from 4-5 pm. I call it my hour of laughing. Some scenes are so funny -- it's fun to watch & makes me feel good.
Was supposed to see Dr. McNett today but he wouldn't be in so I'll see him 2 weeks from today.
Sat evening the 10th
Got your letter today. I don't think the O.T. stories were used much in S.S. I remember using a flannelgraph about Naaman being cleansed from leprosy. The most I remember about Jacob was that he was in love with Rachel & he was willing to wait 14 years for her after being ticked by Laban. But I guess he didn't really wait 7 more years until he "had" her before. But usually the theme was patience & you'll get your reward. You made things sound very interesting & I'm sure no one was bored in that session. What will your book be for the April session. I once was asked to give a book report to a YW group of women at Gt. Falls. I did it
Kim stopped in today. She thinks Lar should go to the reunion & Dale would like to go. Barb isn't interested & Kim is on the committee for Warren Hi class reunion & that is the next week &^ she figures she'd be busy with duties for that. So maybe the 3 of us will come, but nothing is definite yet.
Larry got the flooring for their bedroom at the camp -- hickory wood. They have a friend in Youngsville they get it from him.
Just finished reading an interesting book The Thin Woman by Dorothy Cannell. Easy reading. The author was born in England but now lives with her family in Peoria, Il. It's her first book but I'm sure I saw another book by her a week ago at the library. I'll keep a lookout for it. I'm tired of reading books with a lot of swearing & sex. Kim was saying a teacher took a busload of kids to a hockey game in Erie & the kids had a great time. Why -- in front of them they had a ball -- watching a drunk who was finally escorted out. And one of the hocked players name was Pecker & the audience kept shouting "Pecker, Pecker". Because of some of the books I've read, I knew the meaning of that. It wasn't something I learned as a teenager! How times have changed.
Scott is now on Ritalin & Barb can see an improvement. I'm sure the teacher was glad. He was really out of hand.
I'm also ready Evening Class by Maeve Binchy. I like her books.
Now it's Sun the 11th.
Read Evening Class til 11 pm last nite. It is a good book. After lunch today I read & then took a nap. Now I'll add a bit while I have a coffee break.
The sun is shining but it is a cold day. Was cold walking to church.
If we visit Mim & Tom's cabin would we stay in a motel. I know Ruth spoke of staying in a motel up there & I would prefer it for myself. Getting up during the nite is always a problem & it's part of my life now.
How said for Lila & Gen. Gen isn't able to do all that is necessary. Hope they will get into a home & get proper care. They should have the means for it -- there must be some sort of help for them.
Tues A.M. I finished my Tues AM chores & I'm going for a walk. A nice sunny day, again.
interesting blog. It would be great if you can provide more details about it. Thanks you
