We've got a good deal of our Christmas shopping completed. Been to Erie Mall twice. Dale is the hardest one - I've asked for suggestions & wondered about camp gear but he has enough & wants clothes. The week before Christmas I'll probably be looking for pants. We plan to send money for Andy as I'm sure he has & will get more clothes. You'll be buying a high chair & this can go toward that or whatever. How is the little sweetie. Growing by leaps & bounds I bet. Wish I could hold him.
Today Alison (Lauri) came home with me after I had my hair done. She was so good - she has changed so much. Lauri is expecting next July - a surprise! With Alison I can keep up on my "grandmothering".
The Glade Bridge is opened as of today. Joyce & I walked out there & walked a little ways onto the bridge sidewalk. It is nice. The Pa. bridge is going great guns & they hope to have it completed by the end of Nov. The weather was beautiful today. Dad drove over the Glade Bridge today.
Last week I got a video from the Library. "A Streetcar Named Desire" & we enjoyed it so much.
We had a note from June telling us she was having an operation. Thurs the 12th - gall stones. We want to call Ruth to find out how things are.
The elections went well here. The Dem's took 2 out of 3 seats for Commissioners. Greenlund was re-elected & Pat Evans was elected & a Rep, a Donaldson from Russell. The Rep. vote for the Dem. & the party bigwigs were disappointed. But they have to start training younger ones if they want to continue in the majority.
It's 8 pm & Dale just got home so I've got his dinner in the Microwave. I love the Micro. esp. when this is Dale's usual dinner hour. He's been working on his cars. Got the truck ready for winter driving. Dad washed & waxed his car today.
Larry & Kim are coming for Sun. dinner. Kim is busy so we don't see too much of her. They went shopping at Erie Mall last Sun. & got a good start. She got Lar a tool box for his truck - we picked it up for her in Jamestown & it's in the basement. Just fit in the station wagon with not much room to spare. It never would have fit in her car.
Mrs. C. is allowing Lar to remodel the kitchen in the apt. the first of the year. Not much space to work in. Will get oak cupboards, new sink, etc. Will give them space for pots & pans, etc. & then space to set things down - counter tops, etc. Lar will do the work. Dad offered to help if needed.
All is well here.
P.S. 8 A.M. Sat. Dale is off to work, I've set rye bread & a brief ps before we walk over town for breakfast.
We called Ruth & June came thru fine altho it was a large stone. Been growing awhile & that would have given the back pain she had.
Rudy's pain increased & it has something to do with the blood vessels so the Dr. gave him cortazone (sp) to take for 6 days to see if that would help.
Svea is giving problems - wishes she were back in Fla; won't eat right etc. Guess it doesn't hurt not to be so close. It's hard on Ruth & Stella.
We're off.
Gerald flew home for the operation.
