February 1989

We awoke to slippery roads and snow and school was cancelled.  So it is a good day to write letters and I just finished one to Gen.

Barb is up and off each a.m. and she is liking the babysitting.  She is also sitting for Lauri.  Twice this week.

We enjoyed the dinner-theater at Holy Trinity Church last Sat. nite.  They did a great job and all members.  Directed by the pastor's wife.  A good meal, also.

We are invited to Lar and Kim's tomorrow nite.  We will try our hand at the golf game on the computor and they will borrow the Wheel of Fortune so we can try that.  They say the games are so true, and fun to play.

Paul do you remember a Pederson in your high school class - according to Denise Johnson he was in your class and now is going with Nancy Bloom Davis.  He is in church with her.

I ordered some tapes from the Reader's Digest and they are good - from my earlier days so nice memories.

The end of March Larry will get the first interest payment from the estate and naturally he is looking forward to that.  They had the vacuum cleaner we bot when you were born, Paul, so they bot a new Hoover on sale.  His work on the room is coming along fine.  He hopes to get it finished as he will have a lot of extra outdoor work to do.  Is making plans for new shrubbery for the library.

At church Katherine [Peterson, church secretary since before we moved to Warren in 1957] retires in March and Cheryl (Mrs. Ron) Bloom will be the new secretary.  She will be a good one.  We didn't attend the annual meeting last Sun.  Went to church in Jamestown instead.  All went well from what we heard.  We have a choir director, now we need to find an organist.

Hope you got your pkg. all right.  Don't think you left anything else.  Did you find your blouse, JoAnna?

I've been reading again and found a new detective authors - Emma Latham and I really enjoy her* books.  Have also reread a few favorites.  Don't remember everything so I enjoy reading them again.

We were able to walk 3 times this week.

Dale received a ring from work as a reward for his good service.  He doesn't wear it but if I remember it has the Chrysler emblem on it.  He is working on the car they took to Sorenson's.  Worked the past 2 nites til midnight.  He has this aft. off so assume he will work on it today.

Soon lunchtime so will send this off.

*really their as 2 lawyers write them.
