This is our long weekend - no school Fri. or Mon.

It's been cold here - below 0.  It's sunny & warmer today.  After my washing is completed I'll walk over town, return library books & "window shop".  I'm in the mood to buy, but then when aren't I!

Fri. nite the 4 couples met at Bucktail Hotel, Marienville & we had a great time.  Next time Ted Shaffer wants us to come to Niles, Oh. where he is now - go out to dinner, sleep over & have a grand time.  Planned for the last Fri. in Feb.

Beaty Group had a pancake breakfast, chili lunch, & flea mkt last Sat.  I shared a table & sold 100 rolls & made about 17.50 after expenses.  2.50 table & about 5.00 for ingredients.  Could have sold more.  As it was I was up at 5:15 AM to bake 2 double batches & 1 batch was made earlier & frozen so I'd have 100 to sell.  It was fun.  But the kitchen will be a mess for work tomorrow.  They said we probably wouldn't be able to find utensils.

Dad didn't have to go to Brad. Sun. so we worshipped at St. Paul followed by the annual mtg.  All went well.

Howard Ford retired from Sylvania last Fri.

Barb received the check & says thank you.

Barb & Dad really enjoyed skiing last Mon & it was a lovely day.  They are anxious to go again.  Nice trails at Chapman Dam.

Dad is in Kane this AM for a district mtg.  Svea sent us oranges & they are so good.

Do you have new tenants upstairs?

Called Svea to wish Signe a Happy Birthday & they stayed only 2 weeks as Linda has to stay in bed so she won't lose the baby & they thot they should return & help out.

Called Roland's but Signe & Geo. had gone to Rkfd. for the weekend so I just wrote a letter.

Svea told us Roger paid off the mortgage - she was really happy as it makes things easier.  She said she'd send us oranges & we'll pay the freight cost.  That is nice of her.  Her trees didn't get hit with frost.

She doesn't plan to sell.  Maybe next winter we can visit her.  I'd love that.

Roland said they hope the baby will hold off for 3 more weeks as that would be 33 weeks.  Hope it will.  Linda doesn't care to go thru this again.
