The Yankees are playing the Mets in a pre-season game so I have to write a letter & stay by the T.V.  It's good to be watching a game again.  Will you be going to the Brewers opening game?

Fri we had more snow but it melted.  Yesterday was clear, cold & windy.  It broke the temp records in Pittsburgh & Erie airports.  But it is suppose to warm up this week.

We were at Chandlers Valley today.  One boy was confirmed.  After church we went to Brandywine for dinner & had one of their Sun specials & enjoyed our dinner.

From Touring Swedish America:  What to see and what to do

We called Stella & Svea [Dad's two oldest sisters] this aft & all is well with them.  Dan & Barbara [Stella's youngest son and his wife] had twin boys -- children 7 & 8.  Boy they have a large family to care for.  She had a Cesarean so probably they won't have any more children.  They wanted 7 children.

Signe [the middle of Dad's five sisters] called last Sun. & Geo. [her husband] had fallen & broke his shoulder & a hairline fracture by the leg.  In the hosp. 2 weeks.  Was to go home yesterday.  They were taking care of Paul & he had some string that Geo. tho't he cleared but didn't.

Tomorrow Ken [Signe & George's son-in-law, Paul's dad] starts a new job in an insurance agency as an underwriter.  He's been out of work since last fall, as the job he had first didn't work out.  He quit as a teacher last fall.

Sig & Geo. plan to be at the Lake in Aug. for Ford's birthday [Ford, Dad's brother, is the oldest of the 7 Herman & Anna Nelson children] & are looking for a cottage.  The ones we tho't of are all filled but they will look at Edgewater (log cabins) where we stayed before & they are nice.  We'll get a 2 bedroom cottage so we have room for company.  They will reserve for us too.  It will be fun to be up there again.  Aug 7-21.  Carolyn & Ken will be up most likely.

How are things with your - busy at work.  Be interesting to hear how things are going.

We ordered new drapery rods for the living room - the kind that have the rings on them & the round rod in brass.  We got them from Sears as they are cheaper but just as nice looking.  I'm getting anxious for the draperies to come.

The next big job for Dad & Dale is to put in the garage door opener.  We got it before Christmas but put the job off til spring & warmer weather.  It will be nice to have.

Have a library book to read so will bring this to an end for this time.
