I've been watching golf with Tiger vs. David Thoms. They are on the 35th hole & Tiger is 1 up. It's been a good game. Yesterday we were disgusted -- the TV went off in the aft., came on for about 15 min. & then off again. And golf was coming on. We didn't get it back til close to 10 pm! By then it was bedtime. It was so quiet -- Barb watched a video & Dale did also. I worked on my puzzle.
Another quiet day & not because Dale is that noisy. He went to Ohio today with Craig Williams who also works at Shults. They went to a tool sale. So I didn't make a meal. He left at 6:45 A.M. & at 7:15 pm, he isn't home yet. It has started to snow a bit. Craig must be about your age. He married young and is now a grandfather. He's a nice fellow.
Last Fri. we went to Jamestown & ate lunch at Red Lobster. Barb had her favorite meal but the luncheon size or portion. I had fish. All I bought was a mattress pad for Dale's bed. With the thicker mattress the old covers don't really fit, & don't stay on that well.
Do you recall the Bob Bensons? Their son Keith's daughter was baptized today. They live in Pittsburgh but haven't settled on a church there. Can't remember if one daughter was your age. They, Benson's, had 2 girls & 2 boys.
Thanks for the picture of Andy. He looks different -- his hair is darker. It is just hard to believe he is growing up. When I think of you & Lar in the 50s & Barb getting close, that is hard to believe as well.
Tues. Mar. 3rd
Last Sun. Dale called about 8 pm saying they would be late coming home due to an accident on 80 & bad roads. They had been in the area of Canton, Ohio, to an opening of a new tool place, that was very large. He enjoyed the day but not the weather. They got home about 10:30 pm.
Last nite Dale told me Sam asked to borrow 50.00 Payday is tomorrow & Sam had to make a payment at the jewelry store. He is suppose to have given Nancy an expensive engagement ring. His friends think he has blinders on when it comes to Nancy. It will be her 4th marriage, drinks like a fish & has had so many men in her life. Nothing but a slut but they say "love is blind" & it must be. No one thinks it will last.
Warren also called Sun. nite. H e has a 9:30 appt. this A.M. at Warren Dental Arts & they wanted me to go to lunch with them. This is Dale's long day & I like to give him a good lunch. Barb made chili so he'll have a bowl of chili & a sandwich. He gets 1/2 hr. off so if he's hungry he could go to Arby's for a sandwich. Can't give up a lunch date with friends.
We woke up to more snow & no spring is in sight this week. Alaska would like the snow we've gotten.
Late aft. Tues.
Had a good visit with Warren & Anna. We went to Perkins & they had a new fish menu. Anna & Warren ordered fish dinners & I had a fish sandwich & the fish was very good. Soon they leave on a 2 week trip to visit New England relatives. They are on the go all the time. Anna is doing fine & you can tell Warren is losing weight -- his fat tummy has gone down a lot. I think Anna's heart attack frightened him into losing weight. He exercises by walking but the weather is such Anna can't do much walking outside. Ted & Warren are doing much better than their wives.
I don't make good meatball but I tried again as we're having spaghetti & meatballs for supper. I know my mother always used a mixture of beef & pork & sometimes veal but it is hard to find a mixture today. That's when there were butchers to serve you.
Thurs. aft. Mar. 6
Got your letter today & I got another nice laugh of your explanation of the cats using the chairs for a bathroom. Barb kept me informed on Bert's cats, who also soiled her chairs. But they went outside & waited til 11 pm to want to go out & then would return at 6 A.M. Bert stayed up to let them out & got up at 6 A.M. to let them in! That is why Barb didn't like to sleep overnite -- that & a poor bed to sleep on.
I made a banana cream pie this A.M. & it looks delicious. I scraped the pan so I know it tastes good.
I'm using a new recipe for making a corn pudding tonite. It calls for a pkg. of corn muffin mix & French onion sour cream mix. Both corn & creamed corn. Hope it's good. Having salmon & a piece of halibut for Dale who doesn't like salmon.
The cover of the latest Bon Appetit has a lemon layer cake that Barb said I could make for her birthday. The brown sugar apple crisp with vanilla ice cream is different in that you add an egg yolk & 1 t. soda to the topping Just noticed an interesting marinade for salmon. but it should marinate 2 hrs. & it's 4 pm now. Then there is a cucumber sauce for it. Have to try it another time.
Larry had to "earn" his dinner tonite -- he worked out my state tax and gave Dale a haircut.
P.S. to Barb's comments on Bert's cats. They would come in at 10 pm & then want to go out at 2 A.M., coming in at 6 A.M. & Bert would do all that for them. She misses cats but not the getting up, etc. Had it wrong in the previous paragraphs.
We got a couple of inches of snow today. Will it ever end -- will spring ever come. More snow next week.
