Last Mon. Barb & I went to Jamestown. No tax on clothes for a week. I bo't a pair of slacks. Barb got a treadmill at Seats but it won't be delivered until Mar 4. It was on sale. After getting groceries, we decided against eating lunch there & came home.
Dale says they use the flash drive working with cars.
Last Sun. Ted & Pat Benson came to church with me. Afterwards we went to Perkins to eat. We had a nice visit. In June Ted celebrates his 50th year of ordination & they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Their children are planning a party for them.
Last nite Kim was telling about a 9th grade boy who would be in one of her classes this semester. Passing in the hall, he told he he'd be in one of her classes. She answered and I expect you to behave in my class or you'll be sent to the office. She's been waiting for him to misbehave but he hasn't & it has surprised her. He has even been very helpful to her -- putting things away, etc. I guess if they teacher expects you to behave, one can. They have 2 classes going in the gym & he has the other teacher. He doesn't behave & is constantly being yelled at. Guess you have to demand respect.
It's 9:15 & I don't hear Barb yet. Now I do. I clean the bathroom & do a load of towels. Her time clock & my time clock don't get together.
Our organist resigned to care for her family. 19 year old grandson in Erie whose mother died. Last Sun. a young man played & did well considering the liturgy is new to him. He plays very well so I hope we can keep him.
I plan to try the potatoes you made except I'm not sure if I'll use feta cheese. Maybe I've seen it in the stores. I don't know.
I'm not much of a worker anymore. I did get the bathroom cleaned & the towels are in the washer. I've been playing Solitaire & I have a puzzle on the card table. I like to drink coffee & be lazy.
Last nite for supper I fixed chicken, mashed potatoes, corn pudding & apple pie for dessert. As long as I know the menu, it's not a job. The job is planing meals & trying to make it interesting. I was going to try a macaroon pie but I stuck to what I know they like. I'm enclosing the recipe. I got ads from Better Homes & Garden cookbook. It was a lower price so I sent for it. I like to "read" recipe books.
In yesterday's paper an article by a Coop. Extension person remembered wash day as a child. It bro't back memories. Mon. was washday & if it was nice weather the clothes line filled the back yard. In the winter they hung in the basement. It was the wringer washer. One summer friends were driving to Maine & offered to take my mother & 1 child. I was the lucky one. We visited my Uncle Carl & family in Caribou, Maine. They had a potato farm & 5 children. Oldest one married & living at home & working with his dad. At home Gen decided to do some washing & got her hands stuck in the wringers. Don't remember if she finished the wash. She didn't break any bones. I remember her saying she sat at the piano to exercise her hands. Dad dated my cousin Carlotta (Maine cousin) before he met me, but I guess she wasn't the one for him.
It's Fri A.M. Just got my hair "done". It's beautiful out -- will be in the 40's. Enjoyed your M. Monroe discourse. She had it all but still wasn't fulfilled. Anything more happen about that 9 yr. old boy. It's so sad. Something is lacking in his life. Discipline most likely.
