Soon time to get lunch but I'll get a start on a letter.
It's raining today. Thurs. temp was 57. A cold weekend & then a warm up on Mon.
I addressed Christmas cards this A.M. Now the hard part - notes on most of the cards I send.
Barb is still working on the porch. The old rug came off & that part needed work done before the new rug is laid down. So it was up to Barb to do it. Scrape & paint.
This past week Barb met with Liz Williams & where she'll babysit 2 dogs & housesit. On Yankee Bush Rd. She enjoyed the visit. Liz has traveled a lot, was in Italy & lived in Mexico & learned the language.
JoAnna - bring your Bon Ton charge card & maybe you'll find some bargains. Sales are starting early - lots of sales advertised - even thru Penney's catalog.
The Birthday Box hasn't been mailed yet. Barb said she'd do it & I hope it will be soon.
Our mailman wen t to another route - one with not so many hills. After several subs we now have a new regular "mail person" a woman. We miss the previous mailman but we'll like this one just as much. Her name is Nancy & just as friendly s we're happy.
Later in the day.
Just got Dad off to bed. Just like a child - dress & undress him, use Depends, clean him etc. Lots of fun, but sad.
We got to the Mall for "5 minutes" & I managed to get a few things. Got a larger pan for potatoes for when we're all together. It's a nice one - on sale plus 10% off. Then to County for groceries.
Wed. I ate chili & it must have bothered me as Wed. nite I didn't feel good. But later in the day on Thurs. all was well. Gas pains.
Did you read in the T M. about the robbery at the bank at the Mall. Such excitement.
What are your Thanksgiving plans. Will JoAnna's parents be down. We'll eat about 4 pm,. Have a 12 lb turkey . Have a 23 lb. in the freezer for when you're here.
Will end here. Soon bedtime & I want to mail this Sat A.M. Love to you all.

Sunday, October 18, 1998
I went to the library & got books by 3 favorite authors. "Death of a Snob" by M. C. Beaton. Takes place in Scotland. About a small time "copper" who always solves the case. Finished it -- only 150 pages. Now I'm reading "Small Town Girl" by LaVyrle Spenser & I enjoy her books a lot. Next to read "Fat Tuesday" by Sandra Brown.
Read, & listened to the 1st World Series game. Went to bed at 11 pm when I knew S. D. wouldn't win.
Our new organist is good but she isn't familiar with our liturgy but it will come.
I'm watching Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore & Pitts just fumbled. Barb would watch Buffalo but they aren't on T.V.
Heard from Millie & she had her bottom teeth removed. She already had false uppers but will get a new set so they will match.
Heard from Gen finally. She enclosed a clipping about Merriam-Webster.
Dale has the car ready to take to Fred Blick for painting. He did a wonderful job on the body work. So nice & smooth.
Barb has the 1st coat of the pain on the porch after 2 coats of undercoat. Soon finished.
It was really warm this A.M. But I still wore a light coat to church - could have gone without it. Such unusual weather for this time of the year.
Eddie's picture is so cute - looks like he is flirting with someone.
Thanks for the birthday cards. The roses are still nice - have kept them watered.
Just got Dad's bed made up clean. The third day in a row I've had to change his bed.
Dad received a card from Signe with $10.00. Carolyn enclosed a note & she mentioned Signe's stroke. We never heard she had a stroke. So she can't write but can sign checks. She recently had cataract surgery. I have the start of one in one eye. Guess there's nothing to it today - taking it off.
My book is calling so I'll sign off. Have more letter to write but not now.
Mon A.M.
When at Penney's last Fri. nite, the lady ahead of me, at the cash register, was buying 2 pr. of jeans Andy likes & a sweater vest & it cost $113.00 for those 3 items. I know Andy likes clothes so was wondering if I should get him a pr. of those jeans for Christmas. If so I'll need size, etc. I need a suggestion for something besides clothes. A.S.A.P.!!!!
I told Barb I'd get a "live" Christmas tree if she'd decorate it, etc. That didn't go over so good we we'll stick to the artificial tree with me decorating it.
Finished my book last nite. It was so good. One more to go. Bad part is I just want to read & that isn't possible. Am washing 3 loads & have beds to make up clean. It's 9:30 & Dad hasn't eaten breakfast yet. He is dressed but wasn't ready to eat.
Be on the lookout for a birthday pkg, Paul. Have to get it ready for mailing.

Dad thanks you for his birthday card. I roasted a chicken for his birthday dinner, mashed pot. & the last of the yellow string beans from the garden. A birthday cake from Bilows. His old shower "conked out" so I got him a new one. He had quite a lot of facial hair to get rid of.
At church we finally found an organist. She will start next Sun. The interim organist was very good but would only fill in until we found a permanent one. She will be available for vacations. She was good & knew the service.
The playoffs are very interesting. San Diego is a real surprise. Hope they win tonite & I'll be so H A P P Y. Sony, Andy!
Thanks for the pictures of Andy. I like that pose so much. I showed it to Sheila (does my hair) & she thought it was good. The complete uniform surprised her.
I got another pen as the above writing is light but this isn't much better. Now it is.
Dale is doing such a good job on the rust spots & a few holes on the Blazer. Tonite he had me feel how smooth the spots he finished are. Like silk! You'll be surprised how nice it looks when you see it. By then it will have a paint job.
When will you be sure if you're coming for Christmas. If we have to mail pkgs it will make a difference in our choices of gifts.
2 Mon. ago (by the time you read this) I'm sure there were a lot of disappointed people in your household as Green Bay got beat by Minn. We watched some of the game. I like the earlier stat for the East Coast.
Penney's has had some sales - today I ordered from the catalog & got 30% off. I saw a short sleeve sweater I like so ordered it.
Carol Andersen from church sent Dad a nice plant for his birthday. She moved back to Wrrn. after her husband died so you don't know her Paul. Dad helped a lot in visiting her elderly parents when we were first here. Carol has always thought a lot of Dad. She is a year older than Dad - and has a great sense of humor & can keep on in stitches. Hope I can keep the plant without the plants dying. There are 4 different kinds of green leaf plants. One is ivy. Larry could probably tell me the names of the other. I like it a lot.
Barb is still working on the porch but hopes to be finished this week. Has the floor to paint & a couple of the lattices. What a relief for her. Lar & Dale plan to build new steps. They have step sets you can get to make it easier. We also want to get a new rug for the steps, etc.
The city will supply the cement for new sidewalks but you have to get the workers yourself. Lar thinks we should do that - so may be next spring we'll look into that. The paper said many have taken advantage of this. Have you noticed the article, Paul.
Mon. A.M. - 6:30.
This is Dale's early week - 7-4 so I'm up early. So I should get started on things early except Barb isn't an early rise so I don't like to make too much noise. Dad is still sleeping altho he was up earlier. Took off his p.j.'s & depend - he does that a lot & then tries to find clothes & starts upstairs after them. His appetite has really improved. He received many cards from people at church for his birthday. Nice to be remembered.
Now it's Wed the 14th.
The doorbell rang this A.M. & it was Ekey's delivering a doz. beautiful red roses. A first in our lives - red roses. Thanks so much for the flowers. What a nice thought.
Mon & Tues were beautiful. Today it is rainy & cooler. Suppose to be a nice weekend.
Barb plans to go to Jamestown this aft. First she has to go for some groceries & Depends for Dad. We didn't get to go Mon. nite, as we usually do.
This A.M. I made Danish rolls - & the house smells so good from the baking.
I'm having coffee now with Halloween corn candy - my favorite. I like Brach's best & C.V.S. has them so I got a supply! My comfort food.
Time to get back to my chores.

Just had a coffee break & will start a letter. Am also watching St. Louis/Houston & I'm rooting for Houston to win so they get home field thru out the play offs. They did win.
Kim said her sister got a year old computer for 300.00. Cost $2,000.00 originally. The one who owned it works with her husband & gave them a good deal. It has the internet & E Mail. So she wants Lar & Kim to get the internet, etc. so they can E mail each other. Kim has been thinking of it but has to wait til aft. Oct. Too many bills & that is the last payment of the Camp. Denny Johnson told Kim the internet is great for ideas for Psy. Ed (Gym) so she's had it on her mind.
Betsy Moran had a birthday this past week & Fri. nite Lar & Kim were invited to her birthday dinner at a restaurant in Jamestown --can't rem at the Iron Stone. (It finally came to me - the name.) It was Betsy, her husband, her father-in-law, her mom & bro. Bob. Mother-in-law died a couple of yrs. ago.
Barb is getting the porch finished. Still has the floor, etc. to do. Looks so nice.
Now it's 7:30 & the Braves are on. Kim stopped by this aft. & that ended my writing. Hope I can remember what I wanted to tell you.
Betsy M. is married to a Jim Senger - he worked at United Refinery. Kim said she & Lar aren't in their "League". Jim gave Betsy a gold necklace & it's not a cheap on, Internet service, & a nice Santa that wasn't cheap. One weekend in Nov. they - Jim & Betsy, Lar & Kim - plan to go to Toronto to see a show, shop, etc. Kim was surprised when Lar said they'd go. Leave Sat A.M. & return Sun. aft.
Dale's been working on the Blazer. Got it cleaned up, etc. Fred Blick will paint it - he'll have time to work it in between jobs. Dale hopes to get it ready soon so it can be painted as Fred said it should stand for a month so it sets up. Dale could still work on it when he gets it back from being painted.
Hatch Patch still has corn so we had corn for supper & it was delicious. Corn & hamburgers.
Andy - Sammy S. has hit his 60th home run. I'm still hoping he'll surpass 61 homers. It's an exciting baseball season.
Almost forgot - Thanks for the calendar & congratulations to Eddie for his art work. That is wonderful. I remember working with you kids on vocabulary, esp. Dale. I don't think you needed a lot of coaching, Paul.
Now it's Sun aft. & I'm watching Pittsburgh vs. Chicago & you know who I'm rooting for.
I tried to get the book you tho't I'd like but it was out. I did try one of Russell Banks - "Hamilton Stark" but I can't get into it. But I did enjoy "Pretend You Don't See Her" by Mary Higgins Clark & I really enjoyed that. More my style.
The latest "Bud" ad on T.V. is a cute one I like to watch. The one where the frog (I think it's a frog) says "I can't work in this environment", when the other creature won't stop "talking", or is it a burp?
Football is taking over letter wiring & I think I've hit all the highlights.
Sun 20th a week later. This got pushed aside & never mailed. So a p.s. & it will get mailed as Rose S's birthday is Tue. She's having back problems & can't get out.
This weekend is an Augustana Synod doings at Chautauqua & Carole & Arland are there. Carole called & they will stop Mon. aft. for awhile on their way to Pittsburgh's airport. They rented a car. Will be fun to see them.
Tomorrow Dale goes to Troy, N.Y. for a sessions on Tues. When the class is over at 4 pm he drives to Rochester for a class on Wed. & will be home Wed nite. 1st class on computer for cars. Can't remember the 2nd class. He has to go to these classes so they can be a 5 star outfit. A long ride. Time for supper preparations.

Your letter arrived this A.M. Barb is busy painting the porch. When she finishes this section the part from the windows to the step railing will be completed. Looks so nice.
Mon. Lar & Kim go to Du Bois to pick up the newly leased CRV. They got it in the silver Kim wanted. I'm anxious to see it. Thurs. Lar had a migrane headache - woke up with it. Finally took the aft off & slept. Took 7 aspirins. He felt better when they came for supper so he worked at Carey's.
Wed. I got a final copy of Edna's will. Interesting reading . I'll enclose it for you to read. Wed. nite I called Gen. All is fine there. Just wanted to "gab". Thurs. I had a letter from Millie. She broke her little toe getting up during the nite to close the living room window. Linda was home & they went to gen's & Linda showed slides of her recent trip to China. The last week of Aug. Millie will spend a week with Linda at the Cape. Millie takes advantage of the bus that takes "Golden Agers" food shopping. Several ladies who go together & were to go out to lunch this week.
I ordered Andy's birthday present from the Penney's folder he studies. It will come this week. I'll mail it to the library in Sept.
Will Eddie come home after school now you can leave then alone.
Tues nite Dale leaves for Rochester for classes Wed-Fri. Then he's on vacation the next week. He's busy working on the Blazer for winter.
Last Wed I walked over town & closed out my checking account. Had my Soc. Sec. check put into our chk. acct. since I write all the checks. Then I went to D&K & found they had dark green towels I wanted for the bathroom off the kitchen. Fri. nite at K Mart I got a dark green contour rug so I have 2 now. They get washed often so I needed a 2nd one. The dark green looks nice in there.
Lar has a card for Sam's Club & when Lar & Kim were there recently they saw some of your Christmas idea selections displayed & said sometime they'd take me along when they go so I could start my Christmas shopping. I'm waiting for Penney's Christmas catalog to come.
It's been warm again so I'm looking for ward to fall & cooler weather.

What a difference a week makes. Last Sun. our thoughts were on your trip home - now you've been home a week & Andy has his football equipment.
I was able to do some baking this past week, but it didn't cool off that much. I'm looking forward to fall & cooler weather.
Barb has the first section of the porch rails just about completed. This part goes faster. Looks very nice.
I lost a filling in a back tooth so will see the dentist on Tues. My 3rd visit in a short time after a 2 year absence. Shouldn't let it go so long.
We've been watching golf from Redmond, Wn. It's interesting. Thurs - Sat. real nice weather - today, cooler & rainy. It's a major & they are fun to watch.
This past week I finally got ambition & shortened 2 pair of lacks. It's a job I don't like but a good feeling once it's done.
Kim & Lar have to decide on a car - if they buy the present one leased, it would mean a 5 yr. loan & they don't like that. They are looking into a CRV Honda. (I think it's Honda.) But Kim prefers the regular shift & they are harder to find. They'd like the color of their present wagon so 1st choice & a red as 2nd choice. The salesperson is looking for one. Wouldn't you know it - one was sold a couple of days before they called. They get it in DuBois. It will be a lease.
Dale went to Seaman's yesterday & got a fender for the Blazer. First he cleaned it up good - it is good condition - no rust. Then a coat of rust prevention & he spray paints it. The Blazer had some dents so he got 2 new fenders thru the one who painted the El Camino. It will look nice once he's completed the re-conditioning. It will be ready for winter. Maybe this winter will be harsher.
Must write to Gen & I seem to have hit a blank. Not much happens here.
It was great having you home & seeing how the boys have grown. I'm proud of my grandsons as well as my sons & daughters.

I'm on the front porch again - supper & duties are completed. Later I'll watch the Mets play in Atlanta. Am looking forward to the All Star game.
Finally got to the dentist this past week. Have to go once more to fix an old filling. The one who cleaned my teeth said my gums are in very good shape for someone my age -- meaning an old lady! Kept putting off calling for an appt, then my leg bothered me so it added up to 2 years since my last visit.
Barb has startedscrappe - how do you spell it - to scrape the3 wood by the windows on the porch prior to painting. She got the pain today. Hopes to complete the job by your visit.
Today I got my hair done at 12:30. Afterwards I went to the bank for my monthly needs, got Dad a pair of slippers & went into D&K, a favorite place to look at "Stuff". It's in the old Murphy store now & much brighter.
We're going to Lar & Kim's on Sun - about 4:30 for a cook out. That will be fun. Hope Dad will be willing to stay awhile.
Usually we get groceries Fri. nite. But Dale said Barb could bring the van up at 5 pm for an oil change. The stores are opened tomorrow so while others are at the parade we'll to go the Mall & grocery store. Will be less crowded. Parades were fun when you kids were little. Now it's a different story. In today's paper it pictured chairs already in place for the parade. Nothing like being an early bird. Did you renew your subscription - if so, you know what I'm talking about.
Your letter came today - talk about busy people. Seems like your days aren't long enough.
The other nite when I was washing dishes, I noticed someone was in Dale's car - but I tho't Dale was working on something. A few minutes later I see Dad getting out of the car, so I went out. He wanted to know where the keys were. Told him it was Dale's car & besides he doesn't have a license anymore & doesn't drive. He didn't believe me & got upset with me. Doesn't like it that I take things from him!
Barb spent 5 hours (2 1/2 hours each) weeding at the library. The 2 parts by the parking lot. Her civic contribution. Wonder if the new director is sorry he ever got into this mess.
