Is Pres. Day a holiday for you.  No school here - a snow day, too.  And the library is closed.  Thanks for the new authors - I'm always opened for new books to read.  Sometimes I find myself rereading a book & I enjoy it just as much the 2nd time.  Recently reread a book by DeBlasis.  She is an excellent author.  One theme was early Calif. days.  I recommend her books.

We awoke to rain & if it freezes, as they say, walking, driving, etc. will be bad.  We go get groceries on Mon. altho we did go last Sat. & got a head start on bargains!

Yesterday we went to early church (8 A.M.) at First Luth & then went to Perkins for breakfast.  It was crowded.

We are enjoying the Olympics - even missed "Murder She Wrote" but Dad taped it for future viewing.  Must make use of our toys!

Still no oven & I'm getting mad.  Doesn't seem possible it would take so long to get a part.  Have to buy "store" cookies & they're expensive.

Did you see the Snoopy comic about the triathalon (can't find the word in the dictionary).  I meant to cut it out but Snboopy said he entered it -- something like this 1) candy, 2) ice cream, 3) brownies.  Guess I could second that!  Doesn't sound as cute here.  Oh yes Levinson's have a Couch Potato Tshirt in the window.  Lar teases about that.

Their kitchen is soon completed.  All the dishes, etc. are back in the new cupboards.  They found wallpaper & he has the floor to finish.  He is buying a computer from Radio Shack - save 800.00 in quarters.  Later he will add the print out for his bills for summer customers.  It will cost $1200.00 for the computer & he figures the print out will cost around 300.00.  Kim can use it, too, for her exercise plans.  I asked when they would have Open House & they said after all is completed.  A gentle hint!

We got the Graham Tour Schedule & we want to plan to go to the Oct 12-16 Williamsburg, Va. tour.

The Valentine is such a darling idea.  We love it.  Everyone thinks it is so nice.
