Thanks for the pictures of the boys. They are growing up so fast. I see a lot of changes.
In church today, we had a substitute organist. She was good, bro't out the power of the organ & we aren't used to that so some people didn't like it. She outpowered the pastor & he has a loud voice.
Fri. Barb & I went to Jamestown & got some good buys, so it was enjoyable. We ate at the Red Lobster. I tried cat fish for the first time & it was delicious.
Thurs. Betty Casey & I went to lunch at Penn Laurel. I had homemade chicken soup & it was really homemade. So good. She said Mike called from Wi. last week & they have snow. They are in the western part of the state.
Gen & Ed celebrate their 45th anniversary Oct 23rd. Hope they reach 50. Both have a few problems.
It cleared up today - was suppose to rain. Dale is afraid the Nascar race will be postponed & on the weather map it shows rain all across (up & down) the coast line.
What about those Mets. They won even with Mike P. on the bench & his replacement got the winning home run. On to Atlanta. They must remember to be careful of Chipper Jones & the one who follows him or they will kill the Mets. It's been exciting anyway it ends. A Subway series would be interesting as I'm sure the Yankees will make it, altho I'd root for Cleveland.
I have a pot roast in the crockpot & it smells good. Finally a change from chicken but sometimes Barb doesn't want beef, unless it's steak.
Dale's getting the Blazer transmission remade. His friend in Frewsburg is doing it & he told Dale it was good as one part was very thin & would have caused trouble in the winter.
Our flowers are still blooming. No real frost yet. We took green tomatoes in & put them in paper bags & then they will ripen.
We're watching Buffalo vs. Pittsburgh & Buffalo is doing good. Smile for Barb but not for Dale.
In Jamestown we went to Walmart & I found a platter in my everyday Corelle pattern. They aren't that easy to find & I was so pleased to get it.
I'm still waiting for Christmas ideas. I think Pokemon are an impossibility. Cards at least. I've seen books, posters but no cards. Except for the ad in the paper & they wanted $550.00 for over 400 cards. It's a scam!!
Need to clean up lunch dishes.
Betty Gusfatson Mailhot asked me if I'd make 2 doz. of my Danish rolls for a brunch she's having in Dec. I didn't say yes yet & I don't know if I want to get into baking for others. Not worth it.
Here it is Wed. & I haven't finished this letter so it will be late.
Today I see the dentist & I hope it is just a one trip experience.
Mildred Wilson died - I worked with her at Beaty & Lar did work for her so Lar & I went to the funeral home. She was 88 & outlived her husband.
The eating area lock would really bother you, Paul, as it has gotten noisy. Think it needs a new battery.
Get my hair done on Thurs. this week as Sheila is taking a long weekend to visit her girlfriend in N.W. Wi. to see their new baby. A few months old now. She is from Minn. but worked in Warren a few years but returned to the Midwest as her mother isn't well.
This is Dale's early week & I've made applesauce & a banana coffee cake - in a bundt pan with streusel instead of the loaf pan. It's good.
So it's time to make my bed & get a shower.
P.S. Saw the dentist - Dr. Walters - he said he wishes his Dad could get around as well as I do. We're the same age. My lower left in the back have been sore at times so he took an xray & something is wrong so I have to go back on Mon aft. at 1 pm. More fun - I like Dr. Walters for a dentist.
