Warren County voters red as ever

What happened to Wisconsin yesterday?  They must have left their game in Madison. Today is different -- Green Bay is playing great.  And so are the Steelers.  They ad a great game today.  Happy Days are here again in Pittsburgh & thruout W. Pa.

Dale saw the Dr. last Fri -- he has an infection in his fingernails.  He had a blood test & when the Dr. sees the results he'll know more.  He has to have a weekly blood test for 4 weeks & then one a month for 3 months.  He's not sure what is causing this infection.  Dale got a prescription of some sort for it  You know Dale -- you have to dig for answers.

I called Millie & we had a nice visit.  She & Linda will go to Allan's for Thanksgiving & hope to see Gen on the following day.  Millie always had Christmas Eve at her place but things changed when she sold the house.  They'll be at Larry's for Christmas Eve & at Allan's for Christmas Day.

There is no school tomorrow so Barb doesn't have to care for Scott.  After she goes to Bert's, we'll go to Jamestown as we have a couple of exchanges to make.  And a few things to check on.  We hope to send the pkg. after Thanksgiving.

Minn.  Can't do much against the Vikings.

When Mimi called last week, she said Ruth always talks about how faithful I was in writing to both parents.  I said it paid off as Paul writes every week.  She also said writing letters is a lost art.  I have Thanksgiving cards ready to mail to Ruth, Millie, & Gen.  Enclosed a little note to let them know about what is happening to us here.

When I had my hair done last Fri, somehow we got on the ages of Sheila's in-laws.  The husband is 7 yrs older than his wife & Sheila said she will probably be a widow someday. Sheila's husband is an only child so I said will she come & live with your & Kevin.  She said NO WAY.  She'd move out first.  I guess she isn't too happy with her mother-in-law.

Minnesota came back with a bang but G.B. still won.

Dale was saying he had to clean out a car before he could work on it in the inside.  Orange peels, half an apple, junk.  He threw out the garbage & put the other stuff in a box.  He was disgusted.

Mon. the 15th

We went to Jamestown again & got more of our Christmas shopping completed.  The pile is growing.  Lar & Kim are the hardest as they don't give suggestions.  I'll corner Lar on Thurs. when he is here.  As we were leaving Bon Ton I saw sweater sets for 50% off.  A pretty pink with embroidery down the 2 front panels of the cardigan.  The clerk charged me full price but it was changed when she saw the 50% off sign.  I've been looking & looking for one & now I have it.  The one I got from Chadwick was terrible.  Sleeves down to my knees or so it seemed.  It is in the Goodwill box.  Spend, spend, spend that is your mother!

I found out again you can't choose a book by its cover.  When we were walking in the Mall, I saw a young gal with a long skirt, slit half way up the thigh, boots with the thick soles & heels & I wasn't too impressed.  Who should wait on us in Sears but this very same gal. And she was so nice & friendly ( down to earth.  It was only her 2nd day working so she was a little uncertain but I'd go to her any day for help.  A lesson learned but will it stick.

Thurs. Nov. 18

I made salmon load tonite for supper & it tasted good.  Dale is in Rochester for school again -- Thurs & Fri.  He doesn't like salmon loaf so that's why we had it.  Both Lar & Barb like it.  Kim wasn't here either.  While I cleaned up, Barb & Lar had a nice conversation.  Lar had the car so he & Torey didn't have to walk home.

Not much going on here.

Wednesday, November 19, 1997

We've had snow today but not enough to shovel.  Enough to let us know winter is on the way.

Dave Blair called to check on your address, Paul.  It is your 30th high school reunion next summer. My, but time flies!

Larry & Kim come over for supper every Thurs.  It gives me something to look forward to & to plan a little beetter meal -- dessert, etc.

Dad got a haircut today.  Jerry comes to the house so I have cookies for him.  He is divorced for the 2nd time.  She wanted to be free to date, etc.  He has the 2 girls & is a good father & nice guy.

Cathleen Rossey died & was buried on Tues.  Cancer.  She hadn't had a checkup since Randy was born & then the cancer was too far gone.  Her oldest son Rex is Barb's age & Randy a few years younger.  She was 72.

Carey's are back from a visit to their condo in Fla.  Lar said they want to downsize - meaning to get a smaller house.  So I wonder if we'll have more new neighbors.  Lots of changes.  It's a nice home.  Mary Ann once said she'd sell it for $150,000.

My washer, dryer, & dishwasher are about 15 yrs old.  And I want to get new ones while I still have some of Edna's money she gave me.  Barb said she'd like to change the paper in the laundry area so I'll let her do the work.  She doesn't like that paper.  The cupboards need painting.  Sanding & painting.  It will be nice to have quieter appliances.  Lar will take the washer & dryer to use for his dirty work clothes.  Haven't looked around.  The Maytag have required very little maintenance but I'd like to checkout Sears.  A Sears appliance store is suppose to open in the complex where Struthers was.

Walmart talked about having a store in Starbrick but the plans fell thru.  The property is too swampy.

I got my Christmas club cehck so I'm ready to start shopping.  Have done some already.  Suggestions are needed!! Family gift or separate for Paul & JoAnna. I've got to start checking tree lights as we put the tree up after Thanksgiving.  Then Christmas cards, etc. etc.  A fun time.

Again we want nto say we're very proud of JoAnna & what the article had to say.  How did you get so lucky Paul to find such a wonderful wife, as well as have 2 fine sons.  You have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, as we do also.
