Mon. nite was LCW and Robert Silzie showed slides of oldtime Wrrn. and he used 2 screens and showed the sight today. Very interesting. He also passed out sheets with interesting facts of Wrrn. and I'm sending one to you.
Today we were at First Meth. for the Lenten noonday service. Ate lunch with Vi Lilja, Arlene H., and Eva Terry. The subject of St. Paul pastor came up and Arlene, who is outspoken, said she hoped he didn't stay 23 years. No one else said anything but you could read their thoughts by the silence. He isn't too well liked and it is too bad as it is a good situation but he doesn't call and isn't the least big friendly. It's sad as we have such a good group of people.
Denny [high school classmate] and Brenda Brader are moving to Fla. They left yesterday with a load of things. Brenda has a job but Denny will have to find one. He will be back as they haven't sold their home yet. Bill and Gen aren't too happy but Bill will teach the girls the insurance business as he will have to have help and wants to keep it in the family. Bill said he'd keep the job open for Denny a year.
Last Fri. we went to Erie and found some good bargains. Dad got a nice wool sports jacket for 39.00 and it looks nice on him. I found a dress and 3 blouses. 2 are summer blouses to wear with suits and slacks.
Last Sat. nite Myrt and Jer Wallin, Alice and Jim Greenlund and Joyce came to supper. First we had juice and crackers and a relish tray in the living room. I used the tray you gave me and had dip in the center dish. After dinner we played UNO around the dining room table and had more fun.
This weekend Dad goes to Dagus Mines but I won't go with him as a group is coming in from Alberta, Can. They have been touring the US and will have charge of the Sun. a.m. service. Housing is needed and people weren't responding so I asked Dad if he would go alone to Dagus and then we could have a couple of the young people overnite. He agreed and they will be here for supper Sat. nite and for breakfast and there will be a potluck after church. Should be interesting but Dale said he'd have to make arrangements to be away. That's my kids.
Got the announcement from Ft. Worth announcing the birth of a daughter to Michelle and her husband. And in the r.r. [round robin] June said that Curt and his wife are expecting a 2nd child in June.
Joyce O'Connor got a new Mercury Topaz and it is nice. She also sold the apt. on the corner of 5th and Conewango. She is glad to be rid of that.
Some of the tiles above the tub surround were coming loose from the moisture so Dad is replacing them with a sheet of tile. Couldn't match the gray but this is a blue and white and blends nicely with the blue tub surround and you don't really notice that it is different from the gray tile. We are all fine. How are plans coming.
Monday P.S.
A brief note & then we'll mail your letter.
The youth group from Canada had the Sun. A.M. service & they were great. Good group in church, too. 2 boys stayed with us. One from B.C. & the other from Edmonton, Alb. He shops at that big Mall there - we've seen it on T.V. They made themselves at home - did a load of clothes; soaked in the tub; in stocking feet. They loved the dinner & homemade rolls.
A pot luck after church & a good group out for that. They are in the Pittsburgh area today - will go to N.Y. & Maine. Left last Sept. & be back in Can. in June. They said in N. Dak. & Minn. they were served sloppy joes for about 2 months. The church wouldn't mind entertaining a similar group sometime again. They really had the electronic equipment.
It's warming up finally. My washing is done. Dad is washing the car & then we'll go out for lunch & get groceries. Tomorrow A.M. I have a dental appt. & that's the A.M. we get groceries.
