I went to church this A.M. & had a coughing spell during the sermon. Nothing helped, but I finally stopped. We have had some leaking around the steeple so we had a meeting after services. Before the vote, the leak was explained as well as what needs to be done. They will take the steeple off, fix around the area, & put the steeple back on a cushion of some sort. They also said some thought we shouldn't put the steeple back & the floor was opened for comments. I said we need the steeple or it will look like a motel. (Someone once wondered if it was a motel.) It will be fixed & the steeple put back on. I don't usually speak up, but to look complete, the steeple is needed.
Warren's graduation was bad. Some years ago, they bro't beach balls to outside graduation. Now they added a blown-up penis (a nurse popped it) & water filled balloons. Some parents encouraged it. One of Kim's friends, a teacher at Warren, refuses to go to graduation. It's a farce. The parents don't even dress up. After graduation, Sheila cut one kids hair. She said to him, "You guys didn't act very nice at graduation" -- he said don't include me in "you guys". So not all kids like that kind of humor.
Sheffield's principal is transferred to Youngsville. Kim didn't always see eye to eye with him, but she hates to see him go. He put into practice orders from Central office & they (others) don't always do that. They refuse to.
As usual, I'm watching the Mets vs. Royals. Mets 3-0. I'm holding my breath to see if they can be ahead in the 9th. They need to win at least 1 game!!!!
Kim plays golf every Tues. A.M. A woman's league (Blueberry) & Kim made 46 for 9 holes. She was pleased. Kim had low net of 31, whatever that means. I know par, birdie, & eagle & that's about all. She was pleased. If the Mets weren't on TV, I'd be watching golf.
This year Barb planted lettuce in pots. Last year the in ground lettuce was bitter. She likes it better in pots & tastes better.
They said Art Howe shouted at the Mets after their bad plays. I can't imagine him shouting -- he seems like a gentle man. I think it's paying off -- now it's 5-0.
Dale got his muffler in his car after work yesterday. He noticed he needs a new tail pipe -- was disgusted with himself for not noticing it as then he could have put a new one on at the same time.
We went to Jamestown but didn't find anything special We had a fish dinner at Davidson's. Barb did find a birthday gift for Kim. And we got groceries at Wegman's.
Tues A.M. the 14th of June
Yesterday the pastor called & wondered if I'd serve on the stewardship committee. I told her I was 83 & didn't care to. She couldn't believe I'm 83. Also I had a coughing spell on Sun. but I hated to miss church. I'm still coughing but I hope it's better by Sun. next.
Thanks for the pictures of your beautiful yard. That's a really big tree. Yardwork is a good hobby. I can see that Ed is really changing. Hearts will get broken by your sons! Handsome guys!
Did you get the sports jacket you had your eye on?
Wed. the 16th
Barb will start kemo the 28th of June. They wanted her to start June 21, but she wanted another week. It's not something person looks forward to.
One Sun. Lar, Kim & Betsy M & her husband, in their Miatas, went on a little ride to Salamanca, N.Y. &^went to the Indian Casino there. They tired the slots but no big winners.
Thurs. the 17th
Made a strawberry pie & it looks delicious. We're having chicken & biscuits. Homemade biscuits. And lettuce salad from the garden.
Just wrote a note to Ruth.
The hosp. called. Barb had to be there at 7 A.M. Around 10 the hosp. called. They injected a dye & it takes time so she would soon be going to be operated on. So maybe she's there now. Kemo next. Hope it all works out.
Cold is gone, but I'm still coughing. SOon it will be over. Otherwise all is fine here.
At 5:30, the hosp. called & said Barb wasn't able to come home yet. The anesthesia & pain pills don't agree with Barb. At 8:15 Barb called & said she wanted to come home. Kim picked her up & Barb said she told them she felt better, but to Kim she said I don't really. Under her chin, she has a bandage patch. I think she'll fell better in her own bed. This reaction was worse this time than last operation.
Fri. Barb is feeling better.
