We're having a perfect weekend weatherwise.  Couldn't be nicer.

After church we walked to get the paper & soon it will be the Mets at San Fran. & they aren't doing very well.  Dale is taping the races.  He plans to get a "winter" car as he can't drive the El Camino in bad weather.  He found one & Dad wonders where he'll park it.  The car is only $200.00 & is in good condition but I'm sure he'll be working to improve it even more.

Paul do you remember Sandy Sampson, Patty Welsh's girlfriend.  Sandy has 2 children, a boy a senior at W.A.H.S. & Amy a 13 yr old.  It was in the paper that Amy & another girl haven't been seen since last Wed. after school (Aug 30) & they have run away.  Sandy & her husband were in church today & I haven't heard if Amy has come home yet.  A book was sent to Dad asking for funds for Covenant House in N.Y.C.  It is a house for run away children who have no where to go after they hit the big city.  It tells of their experiences - I read it & it surely makes one think & feel sorry for the kids who run from home.

I'm enclosing some pictures of happenings around here.

The Motel 8 building will soon be completed & it looks good.  It is in the area of Holiday Inn.

Barb has been sewing & it looks good.  She is fussy.  2 pr. cord. pants, 2 cord. skirts, tops.

Soon we'll be sending a pkg. for Andy's birthday.

Lar & Kim enjoyed their visit - they had a good trip home.

They'll be here tomorrow as usual.  Lar comes every Mon for dinner & Kim comes just for coffee if she has a class at 7:30.  That's about the only time we see them.

Things are as usual here.

P.S.  Forgot to mention last Thurs nite we were at Bill Braders for Bill's retirement party.  Just family & a few friends.  Cindy is taking over the office & the office is now at the P.O. building.  Gen is so glad to have the office out of the house & it gives them more space.  It was a nice time.  Denny called & he wants them to come down but they aren't too keen on going.  They don't care too much for Brenda.  They'll probably go later on.  Denny is doing OK - has 4 girls in the office.  Think he was able to buy an insurance business.  They hope that Barbara will be able to help Cindy at the office but first she has to pass her insurance test & she has failed it.  She now works at the bank, has remarried, has had another child, a cute 2 1/2 yr old girl.  Heather is in 9th grade & has a boyfriend & Brian is in 8th grade.

Paul Yaegle died & was buried last Tues.  Dad assisted at the service.  Our pastor was away last weekend so Dad was called to the hosp.  Elsie's mother is still living at 102 & has a clear mind.
