It's a dark, dreary morning. Rain is expected & then cooler weather for while I'm thankful. Can start planning Fall meals. 6 AM temp 70, 9 AM temp 65.
I hope to mail Andy's pkg on Wed - to the library.
Kim is back to school. She has a few complaints. Her Health classes are large - 38 & 35 kids 8th graders who could care less & Denny Johnson only has 6 in his health class. She said she's trying not to let things get to her. Easier said than done. I say the same concerning Dad & then something gets to me - patience, patience!
Last Mon. we went to the Mall & grocery shopping in the A.M. seeing Dale was here. I got a basic, collarless blouse that could be worn under a suit for 5.99. Pink. Had been 18.00 At the shoe store, Herberts, I got a pair of navy flats as my present ones are getting shabby but still good for around the house. Barb got a pair of walking shoes.
Dale has the El Camino about completed. Seats in, doors & windows finished. He put a new rug in it. Looks nice. It took longer so he hasn't got the Blazer here but hopes to today.
Yesterday Kim & Lar ended summer by having a group of friends over. It was a nice day but very hot & humid.
Yesterday Barb went to Jamestown to do a few errands. They are working on the road & she took a wrong turn & was lost for about an hour. Followed the wrong detour sign.
Dale is a coffee drinker. Between Dale & me, I make 3 pots a day.
Just folded sheets I'd washed. Was going to say I make Dale's bed up clean on Mon. & he makes it the rest of the week. But he fooled me and made it today so he'll have clean sheets on Tues.
Fall has arrived - lots of football Sun. Pittsburgh won so Dale was happy; Barb was disappointed as Buffalo lost but it was close & exciting. Watching the 1st part of the Steeler's game I wondered if they could win, but they improved. Flutie did OK for Buff. And you folks are happy - Green Bay won. I was unhappy - Mets lost but they beat Maddux & Glavine in the first 2 games.
Dale plans to wax the El Camino & he hopes the weather clears up as he doesn't want to take it to the other garage in this "crappy" weather.
I've filled 2 pages of what happens here & we send our love to all.

Sunday, September 14, 1997
It's a lovely day - hope it lasts for Tues. so the electrician can put in the new electrical box replacing the one as old as Dad. This house was built in 1915. He wanted to do it last Fri. but the weather didn't cooperate. He can only do it on a Tues. or Fri. as that is when the inspector is in Warren to check the work.
Things are going OK for Kim at school. This year they are getting harder on the habitual brats. They have in school suspension; have to study, etc. If they don't behave in there, 3 days are added so the teachers have seen an improvement. But there is a bad side - Denny Johnson (Phy. Ed. teacher) had a sabbatical last yr & went to school. He has to teach for a yr. or else pay back the 1/2 salary he was paid. He doesn't want to teach - doesn't want to part with his money so his "nerves" are bothering him. He was gone 2 days the 2nd week & the sub wasn't a trained Phy Ed & just stood around. The one who was the sub. last year & didn't get a Phy Ed job but was painting houses subbed all last week & for how much longer Kim doesn't know. That's the bad part. But she's taking things in stride this yr.
Last Thurs our retired friends were here for lunch & we had good fellowship. Pat & Ted Benson told about their trip to Sweden & showed snapshots. Warren & Anna Hollertz have a new grandson (Mark's) & their youngest girl Valerie expects the 1st of Oct. They've been married 11 years. They'll come the 1st part of December - I'll have the tree & decorations up then.
Dale is away this weekend. Went to the "funny car" races near Reading with 2 fellows from work. Funny cars are those long ones that don't race very far & are stopped with a parachute opening to slow them down. Left after work on Fri. & will be home today.
We're enjoying tomatoes from the garden & they taste so good.
Barb worked on the shower corner of the basement yesterday. Got it set for painting. The last section will be the hardest because it will mean moving those 2 tables covered with junk & tools. So nice to have it clean & in order.
Haven't washed my L.R. draperies for 3 years so that is a job for this fall. Where does time go or is it old age & laziness setting in. My leg tells me I've been sitting long enough.
