My 3rd letter today. Had a Thanksgiving card & note from Millie so I wrote to her, & also to Gen.
Larry & Debra's baby son is Jeffrey Chad. Weighed in at 9 lbs & 21 1/2 " long. A big boy.
I have a list to write about so here goes.
1) Janick's is going out of business. Is having sales & they'll last into the new year.
2) I finished a hard 1000 pc. puzzle, the one with different shades of violet flowers. It took me awhile but I did it. Also in the paper different agencies listed needs of some people. An elderly shut in couple would like puzzles to work so I tho't I called & find out where to bring some 500 pc. puzzles. Another one would like yard to make mittens. I don't have much left but found some.
3) The suggestions (Christmas) came too late as I start my shopping as soon as I get my C. Club check. But I've filed them for the future. Andy has more gifts than Eddie but Eddie's toy was more expensive but I plan to put more money in his card so I he needs something you can get it, or else bank it.
Our cable charge is going up but to even it off they'll add T.N.T.
I have some of my decorations out & we will put the tree up the end of the week. Larry put up the lights on the outside shrubs by the D room. Many outside lights decorations up already.
You should see the house Carters are building - the lot on Verbeck & Conewango by Joyce O'Conner. Brick & it's going to be beautiful. Mrs. Carter (nee Blair) died & left her money to her son. He & his wife are divorced so he moved to the family home & this house is being built for his father - the senior Carter. This Carter (Louis) quit New Process when he inherited.
We had a nice Thanksgiving & we played Scattergories.
Did I write we washed the kitchen & ceiling walls 2 weeks ago. Planned to wash the L.R. tomorrow but I'm lazy so we'll do it after the holidays. Tomorrow I'd like to go to Jamestown if the weather is OK. This past week the only thing we did was go out to Perkins Sat. nite. So I'm raring to go somewhere different.
Dale is feeling better but he has really been hurting. His medication cost $150.00 but insurance covers it. Lucky for him. Lots of soreness & itching.
We hope to send the Christmas box by the end of the week. Wrapped gifts today.
I've covered it all.

Time is flying by & soon the baby will be here & JoAnna will be happy to see her toes again!
Last weekend Sheila (does my hair) & the girl in the next apt. to her drove to Reedsburg, Wi. where Karen, the friend, had a job interview. Karen is from Duluth & been in Wrrn a year as city planner. I forget the name of the Co. but they have a branch in Madison. She will take the job & go from 17,000.00 to 25,000.00 & will be closer to home. A political science major. It was a fast trip - left here on Sat. at 1 pm & got home early Tues. A.M - 3 A.M. They visited the Mall in Madison. She'll start Dec. 10th.
After Thanksgiving I plan to wrap gifts & soon after that we'll send the pkg. Most of my shopping is done.
Dale took today off & tomorrow (Fri) too as he has to use up his vacation time. The weather is nice again - Indian summer. We've had some snow but it didn't last.
Tomorrow we might go to Cranberry Mall if Dad feels like it. In the Oil City area & we'll eat at Hoss'. They have a great salad bar.
We raked leaves & filled 5 bags. This year the city didn't collect the leaves as usual but people had to bag them & then they were collected. The leaf collector machine was broken & too expensive to fix. People didn't like it. Could get bags for 25 cents.
Bon Ton is busier than ever but Janick's isn't doing that well. Barb & I have gotten some good buys.
Talked to Gen last Sun. & Ed is having more troubles. Will see the Dr. soon & should have an operation. Millie is OK now & back to working.
I had my physical last week & all is good. My cholesterol is fine - as long as I take my medication & blood pressure good.
Not much happening here. Just wanted to write a note to go in Andy's card.

Gov. Casey won in a landslide. Poor Rep. representation. And Bowley won by a good amount much to the dismay of the Rep. party. I voted for Bowley & Dad voted Rep. Did you notice that a Rep. won the governorship in Mass. What a surprise.
Barb & I have most of our Christmas shopping completed. The stores have been having sales & 25 or 30 percents off. Bon Ton has been busy but I don't think Janick's are doing that good. They cater to a "higher class" & the average person can't find what they want. And I'm not the only one that feels that way. Some wonder if they'll make it. Have laid off help.
In the picture of the 4 children - the one circled. Larry said that Bruce was the father! He had a 1 nite affair with the mother - separated from her husband. When she found out she was pg. she hurried back to her husband. The same thing happened with her first husband & 1st son - she was unfaithful. Lar thinks he looks like Mr. Myers. They don't know they have a grandson in Wrrn.
I made 2 pies tonite for the bazaar at church tomorrow. Graham cracker and a choc. pie. Both look beautiful.
Elsie Yeagle's mother died. Mrs. Seaquist was 104 years old.
Had my physical yesterday & all is well. Blood pressure & cholesterol O.K. The Dr. was surprised my cholesterol is only 185 & he said that was great seeing it had been 305. Due to medication, & I saw on T.V. last nite that the same medication was tested on men who have had heart attacks & hi blood pressure & it helped & even cleared the blood vessels to a degree. I had gained 4 lbs. tho. Oh those coffee breaks!
Darrel Strawberry isn't a Met anymore. Wonder how he will do with the Dodgers.
Seems like there is something else I wanted to say but I can't remember. As soon as the envelope is sealed, I'll remember!
I'll mention we got Andy "The Littlest Mermaid" so don't suggest it to anyone unless you want 2 copies! Didn't get Chutes & Ladders.
This is my 3rd letter so I'm "written out".

Time to get y our birthday gift off so I'll write a letter & wish you a Very Happy Birthday from all of us.
Our birthdays were good ones. Once when we were out walking, we stopped in at Turner's & looked at recliner chairs, but they were too large for our area. So we went to Reliable & found a smaller one that is comfortable, etc. Later I went & bought the chair & asked for it to be delivered Oct 10th. Dad was overwhelmed when he saw it, & he is enjoying it.
The yellow chrysanthemum plant is still very pretty & we are enjoying its beauty.
Signe & Geo. called & they sound good & keep going. It is Signe's colon but she doesn't say much. June says it's serious so I hope it isn't cancer.
In Lila's card she wrote that Gen predicted you'd have a girl on the 15th, Grandpa N.'s birthday. When Dad's cousin's son & wife were expecting Gen told them "you already have 5 granddaughters, so I predict you'll have a grandson on May 23rd & it turned out to be true. So if this should be true, JoAnna won't like it as it means waiting 10 more days. Time will tell!
Denise Johnson got married again to a Wm Winslow. Not much improvement on the 1st husband.
Mr. Bonace fell off a ladder & broke his arm & had 4 stitches in the forehead. It was a new alum. stepladder & it was just crushed - after the fall outside.
Mr. Holder is full of cancer.
Mr. Africa had a hip replacement & Ed Ryberg has to have a hip replacement.
I just read a great book "The Gift of Asher Lev" by Chaim Potok & it was so good. But I got the cart before the horse - now I'll have to read "My Name is Asher Lev".
I've been reading more mysteries lately & have found some new authors.
The new dept store is opened but I haven't been there yet even tho I have a gift certificate there. Bon Ton does a lot more advertising in the Warren paper now.
Are you surprised by the outcome of the first 3 World Series games. We are- I thought it might be the other way around. But I'm a National Leaguer so I'm happy. Too many changes from one year to the next for a dynasty.
Time to watch the game. We'll call next Sat or Sun to wish you Happy Birthday.

Last Fri. Barb, Kim & I went to "Open House" of these apt. & they are very nice but small. Fine for a widowed person, a single or someone starting out. It really is a fine improvement to that neighborhood. Dad missed as he played golf that aft. & it was just from 1-3.
The middle of Aug. will see the opening of a new dept. store downtown. Janick's. A couple from Calif. bot it (both experienced in the buying & wholesale part of the business) & that will be so nice. We look forward to it. Betty Lee is still vacant.
Did I mention Rick Seteli (Karen Seeley) who has worked for the city will take over as business mgr. doing the work Harry did & working with the Segal son who works with his dad but didn't want that part of the business responsibility. Can't remember his name - the red-headed one. Rick starts the end of June. It means a raise in salary & he won't miss the p.m. mtgs - Council mtgs, etc.
We finally got the Nelson round robin but no special news. Sig & Geo. will be at Roland's for their anniversary & Rol will be 40 the 24th of June in case you want to send a card.
Barb will go for her drivers licence next Tues. Be nice for her to have it in case of an emergency, etc. She had to get a permit, etc. as her Wisc. license had lapsed.
Fri. nite the Mets looked good. Sid was pitching like he used to & they were getting hits & beat Pitts. 7-1 despite 2 rain delays. We sat up til 11:30 when it was 4-0 so we don't know how late it was when it ended. And they could have won Fri. nite but the C.F.er dropped the ball. Maybe Frank Cashen should have been fired - he dealt away good players & they had to put infielders in the outfield. But I still "love" them. Just looked licence up in the dictionary & that is the 2nd choice of spelling so I won't put an s over the c.
P.S. Went to water a hanging planter on the front porch & a bird flew out & scared me. So we looked into it & there is a bird's nest with 5 eggs. So we will be able to watch as the babies come out - feeding, flying, etc. A small bird like the size of a sparrow. I also got my flowers planted on Tues. By the house & garage.
