Is Pres. Day a holiday for you. No school here - a snow day, too. And the library is closed. Thanks for the new authors - I'm always opened for new books to read. Sometimes I find myself rereading a book & I enjoy it just as much the 2nd time. Recently reread a book by DeBlasis. She is an excellent author. One theme was early Calif. days. I recommend her books.
We awoke to rain & if it freezes, as they say, walking, driving, etc. will be bad. We go get groceries on Mon. altho we did go last Sat. & got a head start on bargains!
Yesterday we went to early church (8 A.M.) at First Luth & then went to Perkins for breakfast. It was crowded.
We are enjoying the Olympics - even missed "Murder She Wrote" but Dad taped it for future viewing. Must make use of our toys!
Still no oven & I'm getting mad. Doesn't seem possible it would take so long to get a part. Have to buy "store" cookies & they're expensive.
Did you see the Snoopy comic about the triathalon (can't find the word in the dictionary). I meant to cut it out but Snboopy said he entered it -- something like this 1) candy, 2) ice cream, 3) brownies. Guess I could second that! Doesn't sound as cute here. Oh yes Levinson's have a Couch Potato Tshirt in the window. Lar teases about that.
Their kitchen is soon completed. All the dishes, etc. are back in the new cupboards. They found wallpaper & he has the floor to finish. He is buying a computer from Radio Shack - save 800.00 in quarters. Later he will add the print out for his bills for summer customers. It will cost $1200.00 for the computer & he figures the print out will cost around 300.00. Kim can use it, too, for her exercise plans. I asked when they would have Open House & they said after all is completed. A gentle hint!
We got the Graham Tour Schedule & we want to plan to go to the Oct 12-16 Williamsburg, Va. tour.
The Valentine is such a darling idea. We love it. Everyone thinks it is so nice.
Until July 2010, when her eyesight deteriorated, my mother wrote 1000s of chatty letters during her lifetime - to her parents, in-laws, sisters, children, friends. Tho she started to write to me on a regular basis in Sept '68 when I began my freshman year at SUNY-Buffalo, it wasn't until 10 years later that I decided to hold onto them. (Very inconsistently at first, to which the big gaps between dates attest.) These are the letters transcribed, annotated, and otherwise highlighted here.
