Got your letter today. Thanks for the pictures of Andy. He looks so good in his uniform. I can picture him in a few years answering the telephone calls from the gals.
We enjoyed Carole and Arland's visit this aft. Got all the news.
Guess it's serious with Rachel & her English boyfriend. He's sent out resumes & has had a few nibbles. But he must have a U.S. visa before they will hire him. They are working on that.
Joyce & her husband are building a home in Cle Elum, Wash. Their oldest daughter is to be married in Nov, I think Carole said. The youngest one has a boyfriend, also.
None of Dad's sisters are too good except Ruth.
C. & A. attended the 150th anniversary of the former Augustana Church. They bro't us a program & booklet about it. Lots of former Augustana pastors there. Would have been nice to be able to go. They met Ruth & Russ Thelin who attended.
Suppose it will be awhile before you know how Ritalin will help Eddie. Are there any side effects. I liked his answer to the Dr. The impulses are something he can't help.
Dad is in bed, Barb is ready for bed & Dale is in Troy. Now that it gets dark early Dad is ready for bed early. I'm watching Mon. nite football as well as trying to write a letter.
Were you able to take in a Milwaukee vs. St. Louis baseball game to see McGwire hit a home run.
It's suppose to cool off on Tues & I hope it's true. It has been a bad time for me - perspiring.
Carole looked so nice. Arland is getting a little tummy. It's only a 2 hr. trip from Pittsburgh to Mpls.
Back to Andy's pictures - I'm glad you included the names as now I can put a name to a face - names of friends you mention. Ross for one.
Andy, Ross, Riley
I've hit a snag so I'll close for tonite & hope I don't forget to mail it.
Now it's Tues. nite.
Dad fell yesterday & Barb managed to get him up. Again tonite he fell & I called for Lar but he wasn't home yet so Kim came over & got him up. It scares him to fall. He starts walking & then loses his balance & falls.
Kim was telling us she saw Karen Seeley Setili & she said Rick had a job offer in Toronto but she wouldn't leave Rose. Rick works for the hospital now. In computers. He's a great guy.
It's nice that Andy & Eddie can stay along when you go out. Of course the money is an encouragement. And I used to sit for 50 cents, 7:30 - 10:30 or 11 pm. Money went further or is it farther in those day.
Now it's Wed. I'll sign off & Walk to the mail box at 5th Ave.
Have a pumpkin cake in the oven. Recipe from Women's Day. Sounds good so I hope it tastes good.
