We just got back (3:30 p.m.) from the Valley & the annual mtg. which got a little "warm" this year. The L.C.W. [Lutheran Church Woman] put $5,000,00 into a Historical Fund for church upkeep & according to the constitution that isn't legal as any decision & money spent on the church bldg. must be authorized by the Council so finally it was changed so all is legal. The L.C.W. is run by e ladies & they don't want anyone else to have a say, but when that amt. of money is in question it must be run, so to speak, by the congregation. Even the Church Council can spend only 500.00 without the congregation's OK. Dad even threatened to resign if they wouldn't do things legally. It's in the past. Dad may seem easy going, but if it's not according to Hoyle, he'll work to make it so.
I'm enclosing the measurements.
The flowers are beautiful - thanks so much.
Dale finally has his car running so he doesn't have to depend upon others for rides. It's a nice little car & he says it rides good - esp. when he let some air out of the tires. Over 40 lbs. in each tire before.
We're all getting anxious for spring & warmer weather & no snow. It snowed again this A.M. Suppose to warm up.
Lent has started & now there are Wed. midweek services & Thurs. noon services at 1st Meth. followed by a soup & pie luncheon. We enjoy them. Tues. nite I'm leader for Circle & the topic is Unity & I have to put some finishing touches on that.
We never hear from Barb - we wonder what she is going & what her plans are. Maybe we'll find out sometime.
Some kids are playing basketball in the snow. Be cold on the hands.
Last nite 56 members & friends in Hessel Valley church had a Valentine dinner at Maplehurst County Club. Walter & Emma Johnson went with us (he doesn't drive at nite) & we had a great time. Good food & a little program with a Covenant pastor who spoke. Old & young alike.
Next Sun. Mel & Levina Karlson & a young man who started working at the hosp. in Jan. & comes to church, will come for dinner. So I'll have to clean the house this week - didn't dust this past week so it is time to get busy. Have my menu planned. He is from Pittsburgh area - went to Augustana & I thot it would be nice to be sociable & I like to entertain.
On Easter we will go to Dagus Mines. They wanted a pastor for that day & it's hard to say no. We'll go to the Vally on Palm Sun. for Communion, so we'll be free the 1st and 3rd Sun. in Mar.
Things are fine here.
Mon A.M. P.S. Tonite the N.Y.C. channel has 2 hrs. of Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners which we'll tape for future viewing!
