It's football time - we wont' eat out today.  Will watch the games & have leftovers.  I'm rooting for Minn. & Cleveland.

Thanks for your letter & the video.  It brought back memories watching the wedding & we were thrilled to see Andy.  In church this A.M. Mrs. Nelson Johnson said we'd have to bring Andy to church in July so people can see him!  Remember how I kept Dale happy with cheerios.  He has grown so much - wish we were closer.

We enjoyed sitting for Danny & Alison & they were good.  Barb didn't take them home until 10:30 & Dan fell asleep but Alison was going strong.  Barb didn't get home til 2 A.M.

This coming week the man will come & put the soffit in the eaves.  That will help a lot when it comes to painting.

We still haven't the use of the oven which wouldn't work New Year's Day.  It took from Mon-Fri. to get him here & then he had to order a part & last week we heard nothing.  Dad will call tomorrow.  And I'm "itching" to do some baking.  Every time Lar comes over he looks in the cooky jar & it's empty.  Didn't have that much in the freezer.

Noticed you were wearing the sweater & Tneck sweater (Jo.A.) & shirt (Paul) in the video & they looked nice.  Andy is so cute in his outfit - with the reindeer.  Nice color.

I like the electric grill I got (Sears catalog).  It will cook 4 steaks & they come out good & so do hamburgers.  Not hard to clean, either.

Read a good book Privilege by Leona Blair.  It was really good.

Buffalo has only had 11" of snow this season.  Phila has had more.  That is unusual.  With this thaw ours is almost gone.  Nice to have this change even tho we know it won't last.

Saw Dr. Fino for a pap smear.  All is well.  I asked to have a mammogram just for security & will have it Tues A.M.

Mrs. Crary will be buried Mon.  Service at 1st Meth. with former pastor Jack Spencer, the present Meth. pastor & Father Baker from Episcopal church.  Mrs Tillard met with the lawyer & her job, Lar's & the lady who clean still have jobs.  Many wonder if Lar & Mrs. Tillard will be remembered in the will.  Time will tell.

Dad & I went to Erie on Fri.  It was a lovely day so we took advantage.  Ate at The Red Lobster.  Got a blouse & a navy cardigan.  Barb liked it but I said it's mine!  Didn't go with the idea of buying anything so I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 bargains.

Time to concentrate on the game.  As of now Wn. is leading 7-0.

P.S. Lar & Kim have the video this weekend as they want to see it.
