We're having some beautiful weather - 2 days in a row. Last nite we went to Bradford for the LCW [Lutheran Church Women] picnic at one of the member's home and we had a good time. Before the picnic Dad gave communion to a lady who had celebrated her 100th birthday on the 11th. She looks good - doesn't even have gray hair. They might be getting a pastor by Fall. We'll have close to 1500.00 in our vacation fund thanks to Dad preaching in B.
Walked to the library this a.m. Last week I read a real good book by Judith Michael but I can't remember the title. About twins and exchanging places, etc. I'll be reading after this letter is completed.
The dining room is coming along real good and I hope to be able to hang the curtains by next Fri. The inside work is just about completed. The wall board is up and the nail holes, etc. are filled in. Dale volunteered to smooth it out to perfection but he will, most likely, need some prodding to get working on it. The new windows look so nice - change the room. And we switched the table so the length is from the buffet to the l.r. Makes the room look different and it will give more space with extra leaves. I cleaned the buffet, washed the cups, etc. and it really shines again. We really enjoy our home.
Tonite we're going out to eat with Bensons in Mt. Jewett - going to Andreas. Hollertz can't make it so we plan to meet them next Mon. and we'll go to DuBois to eat. We haven't seen them for awhile and we usually exchange jokes when we get together and Warren has a couple to tell. I can't remember any from the last time we met. Mon. Bensons leave for Portland, Ore. to be gone for 3 weeks and they will visit their daughter who lives there. Dale will have to feed himself -- isn't that awful.
Dale got a lawyer as he was denied the school they go to after DUI. So the lawyer is trying to get him to be able to go. His time before the judge was postponed so we don't know what is happening. Haven't heard anything. Will be glad when it's all over with. Lawyer's fee 500.00 and I hope it will cover everything. I've paid out close to 800.00 for Dale and he said he will pay me back. Still the fine to come and that should be costly. Maybe 500.00. Will he ever learn. Surely hope so after this time.
Had a nice letter from Barb and she sounds good. Will be nice to be together in Aug 18-25. Will you be coming in on Sat. Lar and Dale will make it in one day. We look forward to that week with the family. Eating out and all.
Dad is playing golf - must be playing 18 holes today.
Picked peas from the garden and we've had lettuce. See blossoms on the beans and tomatoes. The summer is passing by so quickly. I'll be going back to work and I'm sure I'll work the school year. At least that is how I feel now. Will have to go to Soc. Sec. as I'll earn more than I'm allowed and will see what will have to be done.
Time to read again.
