I can't believe the Mets took 3 games from Cincy.  And they played good games.  Fun for the fans, finally.  (Of course, Cincy isn't that good!)

Our 4th was very quiet here -- for us.  I was tired out & spent the A.M. dozing in my chair & wasn't even that hungry -- Barb took care of herself & Dale has his regular Fri. meal.  I fixed the chips for him -- refried beans, salsa, cheese & black olives.

Made up for it last night.  Fixed steak &  baked potatoes & tossed salad.  Tonite we're having chicken-broc. dish.

Talked to Roger Thelin at church.  The female pastor wants to come but there are still 2 things we need to do.  Invite her for a get together with the congregation & then the meg. to call her.  Maybe they can move & be in their respective churches by the middle of Aug. Roger thinks she is great & I'm sure all members will agree.

The 4th, in the aft., Kim was taking Torey for a walk & the heavy rains came & she got caught so she dame over here, cutting thru Beaty Field.  IT was a noisy shower & Torey was just trembling so much. Between the noises of the 4th & the storm Torey was a nervous wreck.

Tues. the 9th

I don't know if I've written this but I've often had these thoughts.  Dad steered a church to relocate & build a new church & he was so proud of the results.  His oldest son is in on building a new library & then in finishing the unused section and I know you are just as proud with your building plans.  We rejoiced with you in the building & dedication we were able to be in on & now I'm very proud that you can finish this section to add more space.

Last nite the Mets couldn't tame the Braves but at least they got some runs.  7-3 loss.  Bill Murray was at the game & in the broadcast booth.  H e is so funny & his remarks added to the game.  TBS has all the games but I watched ESPN last nite.

Wed. July 9

This A.M., I had my eyes examined & needed a few changes.  I didn't go to the Medical eye Dr. but over town.  I got new frames as the ones I have, I got from the eye Dr. & this one doesn't use this type of frame.  And they can't be colored for sun glasses as these lens don't take the color.  I'll look around for old frames & see if they could be used & the cost for the lenses.

Barb saw her Dr. today & he examined her breasts and found a lump in one of them so she has to see another Dr. the end of the month.  She hadn't noticed it & was surprised.  So if it means surgery, even if we had planned to go to the lake, she would have changed her mind. With no health plan that makes a big difference.

That was interesting about boys' and girls' names & how they have changed.  Dale once said he didn't care for his name but changed his mind once he became a Dale Earnhardt fan.  I've never minded my name.  When I was growing up, I always wanted a Paul, & a Barbara. Barbara because we took care of Barbara Smith & she was always such a nice person.  No reason for liking the name of Paul.  Just like it & Dad went along.

It cooled off so it is liveable to be outside.  I'm sitting on the porch.

I'm hoping to make cookies.  Scott wanted some of his birthday.  Maybe I can bake Fri  aft. as it is suppose to be in the 70s.

I'm planning to have an oven meal Thurs. nite.  Don't like to use the oven when it's humid. Also decided to make my favorite pie (or one of them) lemon meringue.

It looks like the new neighbors are going to put on a new roof.  It's strange as Carey's had one put on a couple of years ago.  Dale says we should have a new roof.  We'll talk it over with Larry Thurs.  They will have to strip all the old shingles & maybe might need new plywood.  It will be a big job.  Maybe then we can get rid of the bats.  When the trees come down, that should help, but who knows how long that will take.

Thurs.   I'm falling asleep in my chair & I remembered I mail this on Fri. so I'll close with love to all.

Sunday, September 30, 2001

Your letter was so interesting & I love to hear about all you do -- your legislative duties & all.

Eddie's project was so interesting to read.  Especially #12 & Mike P.  I say he has good taste!  But I remember ESPN's Joe M. & John talking about Mike saying he is always willing to give an interview & his time.  He is a nice person.

Now for the news.  The pastor had the service this A.M.  His family was in church.  After the final hymn, he went to the pulpit & read a letter of resignation as of that moment.  After a few words of still blaming a few "tormentors" he & his family walked out.  All council members, except 2, resigned.  When Gary first came some weren't happy with him so he formed a committee to deal with it.  When he found out about the opposition now, he couldn't take it.  He'd talk to certain members about how sick he was & his family, etc.  I think he should have taken the criticism & do something about changing things.  All he did was feel sorry for himself & quit.  The main criticism was we never know what was going on.  At the annual mtg. they couldn't give a financial report because the computer was down.  It would come when the computer was fixed.  We have yet to receive the report.

I didn't know how our choir director, John Check, would react.  After the pastor left, he got up & spoke.  He was one of a group who went to the Bishops Elect to tell him of St. Paul's problems.  Everyone was glad he spoke as that started the healing process.  It will all work out.  John mentioned the letter we got last summer saying we'd have to close our church & join another church.  We aren't ready to give up yet.  That's my sad tale but we will survive.  Just glad it's over.

Saw Dr. McNett last Fri.  My blood pressure was a little higher than usual.  He wants me back in a month so the nurse can check it.  If it's still high he will change my medication.

Last nite we had a beef roast cooked in the crockpot and it was so good.  I even made an apple pie for dessert.  Today I have a chicken to roast so 2 good meals in a row.

Last Thurs. Dale was in Rochester for school -- on motors.  He said it was a good session.

This coming Mon. he leaves for mroe school.  Tues. & Wed. coming home Wed. nite.

The kitchen is cleaned up for the nite.  Always a good feeling.

Katherine Peterson is visiting her brother in New Jersey.  She is in the hospital -- they gave her a pacemaker.  Since her last illness Katherine has lost weight & doesn't look that good.

Barb is now a San Diego football fan following Doug Flutie, who is doing OK.  She is not a QB Johnson fan of Buffalo, who lost again.

Back to church.  Gary didn't give the congregation a chance to say goodby so I guess he is made at almost everyone.

Ruth & Russ Thelin were in church today with former members who are visiting Ruth & Russ.  The Becerks & they weren't in Warren too long having been transferred to Texas.  The wanted to attend St. Paul to see old friends.  There was also a new couple in church today & it wasn't a good day for visitors.

Monday, Oct 1.

This A.M. I saw Dr. Keverline (eyes) & found out I needed a stronger lens for my left eye.  I'm seeing good but will see better.  Walking home, I met Mardi's mother & we visited for awhile.  Mardi & her husband bought a home -- she said St. Mary, but I can't find it on the map, so maybe she meant Marysville.  Maybe you've heard from her.  The twins visited them & got back in NYC Sept 10.  

Barb L. wasn't in the Dr's office but Mrs. P said she was away fro the weekend in Maryland & maybe didn't get back.  Maybe she had Mon. off.

Dale left around 6 pm for Rochester so Barb & I are alone for 2 days.  Dale will be home around 7 or so on Wed.

I'm watching the Pirates at the Mets & Fox TV.   The Mets had a very slim chance to win if the Braves & Phillies help by losing.  Slim chance!

Forgot to mention Dr. K wants to see me in 6 months.  I was hoping tit would be a year.  Oh well, eyesight is important.

Barb said Lynn told her Bob was complaining he wasn't getting any good meals.  Lynn wanted the recipe for Hamburg Gravy from Beaty.  I don't make it but make a similar meal using beef cubes.  I wrote how I make it (no recipe) & also gave her old issues of Taste of Home and Quick Cooking.  Maybe she can find some help there.

Tues. Oct 2.

It's a lovely day so after lunch I'll walk to the post office & mail letters & maybe stop into D&K & see what they have that is interesting I might like.  At least you don't spend a lot of money there.

Saturday, September 8, 2001

We're having summer weather for a couple of days so I'm on the porch & will start a letter.

I've started my Christmas shopping at a Bon Ton sale plus 10% coupon off.  I noticed  Dale could use a new satchel carrier or bag & got one for him.  It is very nice & I'm sure he will like it.

Also I ordered new blinds from Penneys for the eating area.  They are top down or bottom up shades.  I like the idea of having the top down to let light in & the bottom down to protect form sun & privacy.  Altho the trees have grown together & give privacy from the school yard.

This next week Dale will be on vacation & I hope he will get them up for me.

On Tues. I have a 10 A.M. eye Dr. appointment & he will take me over & I'll walk home.

Barb has been looking for a med. blue denim shirt.  She looked in Madison, Erie & Jamestown.  Yesterday she found just what she wanted at Bon Ton.  She didn't expect to find one here so that was a nice surprise.

When Eddie plays football, do they wear all the equipment that Andy's age does.  We were wondering about that as he is still in grade school.  We should have sent you Eddie's picture but Barb wants to wait & finish the film.

Had a letter from Ruth.  It must be this weekend that Rachel's baby Jack Franklin Morressey will be baptized by Arland in Beloit.  David's parents will be coming form England.

She had to have a plumber come as she had plugged drain pipes.  A new connection so they could use the Roto rooter.  That's always a budget buster.

I go to the bank once a month & I list my needs & then figure out how much money I'll need by 20's, 10's, 5's, etc.  It usually takes a little while to make it come out even, but I manage to figure it out.  Then I have envelopes for flood, hair, spending, church, etc.  It works for me so I don't overspend.

Your letter came today with the pictures of Andy.  It is such a good picture with a nice smile.  My handsome grandson!  He got a nice hair cut.  How many extra pictures did he have to exchange or don't they do that.  I'm sure a lot of girls would want his picture.   Thanks so much.

I'm watching Wis. vs. F.S. & it's the start of the 2nd half & I'm sure you weren't' happy with the F. S. TD.  It was some run.

I've also been watching the tennis U.S. Open & they have been very interesting.  Tonite the Williams sisters play for the title.  Should be interesting.  Barb & Kim were hoping Jennifer Capriati would beat Serena Williams so they were disappointed.  Barb was rooting for Agassi & he lost.

Sun the 9th

Last nite I watched the Mets vs. Marlins.  It was a seesaw game but the Mets prevailed.  I'm sure you've noticed it's too little too late but I'll be glad to see them hit the 500%.

Dale plans to put up my new shade in the eating area & he will paint the basement shower.  he also got a new shower head.  So his vacation won't be spent only working on cars.

Yesterday Barb went back to Bon Ton to get a 2nd denim shirt but they were all gone.  She was disappointed.

It's still warm so I turned the AC on.  And Dale was soaking up the sun in the back yard.

I'm watching football -- switching from Fox & CBS.  Enjoying Indianapolis beat the Jets.  Buff. isn't doing too good, neither is Pittsburgh.  I see Green Bay is winning.

Mon A.M. the 10th

Dale got the new shade up but he said he'd never put up another one.  He doesn't think much of it but I thin kit will be O.K.  Kim likes the ones they have in their bedroom.

This A.M. he has been scraping the loose paint from the basement shower.  He is so particular.  Next it's to wash it down good.  Dry out & then painting.

We had rain during the night & this aft it is turning out nice.  By the end of the week it will be jacket weather.

We're getting lots of nice tomatoes from the garden.  Green peppers are good, too.

I watched a lot of football on TV yesterday.  There were some good games & I enjoyed them.

Want to get this mailed.

Saturday, March 3, 2001

Last nite I started reading "Light a Penny Candle" by M. Binchy.  Didn't do much today but read & now at 9 pm I finished it.  I enjoyed it so much.  Even ordered pizza for supper so I was really lazy today & it was fun.

Kim stopped by today.  Barb smiled when she read about your dream & Kim said you must have eaten late that nite before you retired.

Got your letter today & one from Gen but hers was very disappointing.  It contained some newspaper articles & a page on what they youth group at church did last Nov. & Dec.  Not a word form her -- very disappointing.

Your ribs sounded delicious.  I've never fixed them -- maybe I'll get courage & try fixing them.  I should use my crock pot more.

Now it's Sun. the 4th.  After church I had lunch, scanned the Buffalo paper, & made out my grocery list.  And I've been watching the Weather Channel for news of the big storm. I was hoping for a nice Mon. as I see the eye Dr. at 8:40 A.M.  So I've been keeping my eye on the weather channel.

We are suppose to get a new channel the 30th of Mar.  National Geographic Channel.  Should be interesting.

Have another book to read Fern Michaels Yesterday.  Maybe I'll start it later this aft.  When I get a good book I hate to lay it down but I can't put off a meal tonite.  I have a good chicken-spaghetti recipe that is easy & tasty.  With garlic bread & a salad it makes a good meal.

Our snow has started -- 2 pm.

At the Mall, they've taken out the wall that divides the former K Bee stores & CVS, so something must be going in there.   A new rumor -- Blairs Store will go into the former Penney's.  There are so many rumors.

I have a couple of pair of slacks to shorten for me.  Barb said they weren't too long but I felt an inch taken off would be better.  Got them ripped out -- the seam -- but that's all.  I'll put it on my list for this coming week.

Barb & Lynn had a discussion on NASCAR racing.  According to Lynn it's a "redneck" sport & it uses too much gas.  Barb disagreed but didn't argue.  But at home she said they have a boat at the lake & Bob drives a large SUV & they take a lot of gas.  That's a different story.

Last nite Barb had to chauffer Bert, Jo Africa & the one who is staying at the Holiday Inn to dinner over town.  Then she picked them up afterwards.  Barb picked Jo Africa up first & she had to sit in the front seat as she gets dizzy in the back seat.  So Bert had to climb in the back seat & that is harder for her.  J. Africa doesn't drive at nite.

Just called Gen -- Ed answered.  Gen slipped on some ice & went down hard & has a very sore back.  Ed had to make meals today.  He wasn't sure if Gen would come to the phone but she wanted to but we didn't talk too long.  She wouldn't go to the emergency room -- it happened on Sat. & now with this storm she might not get there until the middle of the week.  With her bad back, she could have broken a bone.  She'll need an xray, I bet.

Mon the 5th.
Just got home from Dr. Keverline.  I need to have the cataract removed from the left eye.  I chose Apr. 3rd as I hope by then, the weather will be nicer, and everything will be over by Easter.  We didn't get more snow during the night & I was able to walk home.  Just a little frozen rain.  The bridges weren't cleared & the sidewalk over the Hickory St. Bridge is very narrow.  I met a man coming toward me & he wouldn't walk in the deeper snow, so I had to.  The 3rd Ave bridge wasn't cleared either but most sidewalks were.  Our neighbor cleared our walk around 6 A.M.  I'll have to make cookies for them -- maybe around Easter. Snow should be gone by then.  Got home in time to watch Murder She Wrote.  Now I'm enjoying a cup of coffee.

I've gotten a good start on my book Yesterday & it is another good one.  I just finished it & it was so good. 9 pm.  I did make dinner, tho & clean sheets for Dale's bed.

Friday, March 3, 2000

I mailed St. Patrick Day cards to the boys today, Mar. 3.  Can't remember when you leave & tho't maybe they'd like an extra 5.00 for the trip, so they are a little early.

It was colder today but I was able to walk to get my hair done.  The scale goes up so I need to walk again.  Suppose to warm up next week.

Next Mon. I see the eye Dr & will have to get new glasses or lens because one is scratched.  I want to get prescription sunglasses.  Save money from my Christmas Club check so I can get them.

Went to the library this week.  Read Homeport by Nora Roberts.  She also has a book Montana so I'll have to read it.  Affair by Amanda Quick.  Enjoyed them so much.  A short book Belle Haven, a gothic novel you can read in a few hours, by Juliet Fitzgerald.  The bad part is once I start a book it is hard to put it down -- I can't wait to see how it ends.

Saw a recipe for a new sweet roll.  Made the first step today & will finish it tomorrow morning.  Sounds good so I hope it will be one we like.

It's 10:15 A.M. Sat. & already the temp. is 50.  We're getting spoiled as the next few days should be in the 60s.  I love it!

The gal in your class who became a district judge -- she was Kaye Gorenflo.  Maybe you noticed that addition in the next day's paper.  I remember the name but not the girl.

Mon nite the 6th Marge Woods & I serve at LCW.  We chose to serve cake -- the easiest.  Coffee, of course & M&M's on the table.  I have a silk daffodil flower centerpiece for the table.  Didn't get candles -- maybe I have some green ones around.  Just plain napkins.  But it will work out OK.  Marge takes care of children during the day so I got the coffee, etc. & we'll split the cost.

Baked the new roll & I like them.  Need to make them a few times to perfect the shape, etc.  Th ere is no sugar in the batter.  But you roll them out using sugar on the board, sprinkle sugar over the dough, fold in 3rds.  Roll out sprinkle sugar, fold 3 more times & form.  It says you should make 4 doz.  I only made 2 doz. so I must have made mine larger.  T hey aren't that large.  Just flour, 1/2 c. cold butter, 1/2 c. shortening, eggs, sour cr. & van.  Very easy to make.  Chill overnite.  Similar to a bakery roll but I can't recall the name.  I think it would be fun to be a pastry cook.  I haven't had much luck making cream puffs.  I love them so maybe I should try again.

Now it's Mon the 6th.  I see the eye Dr at 2:20 & want to mail this then.  Yesterday I returned 3 books to the library & got 3 more.  Finished the P. D. James, A Certain Justice last nite.  You don't skim thru those books.  It was from last weeks visit.  Glad I like to read.

Friday, February 26, 1999

Went over town this A.M. as it is a sunny day.  Cashed a check for Mar. expenses; got vitamin E at CVS & went into D&K, a favorite place to look around.

Last week I saw Dr. Keverline for my eyes.  And I do have a cataract & arranged to have it taken care of Mar. 16th.  He asked me if I'd lost weight & if I get hot - I said I've lost weight & I do get warm but mostly when I working & the house temp.l is at 72 - for Dad's sake.  Next Tues. the 2nd I was suppose to see Dr. McNett but now he won't be in the office but I can see the nurse - more than an RN - a Dr. asst. but I can't recall the title.  She is very nice.  Oh yes Dr. K. wonders if it's thyroid & gave me ma note to give Dr. McN.

Dad has fallen several times this past week.  Mostly because he is so ornery & won't listen.  Many times he tries to hit me & as a result falls - loses his balance.

Larry & Kim think I should talk to Mark Patterson & make arrangements for a funeral.  Many people do that today & it makes it easier at the time of death.  I don't see how Dad hangs on.  He eats so little & now he's sleeping more.  It's hard to feel bad as he has a way of making things so difficult.  I guess I'll have to remember the first 50 years & forget the rest when the time comes.

Tomorrow I get a permanent & I really need one.  Suppose to be in the mid 40s.

We are enjoying golf on T.V.  Really interesting this week as it is a one on one tournament.

I agree with what you said about the Yankees.  And L.A. spending all that money on a pitcher.  Of course my Mets did that on the catcher.  Time will tell.  It's not an equal situation for all the teams.

Talked to Gen this week & she said she, Edna & Linda (Millie's daughter) all have or had thyroid trouble & take medication.  I didn't know that.

Got a new lampshade & it matches one I got before.  They are lighter & make things brighter.

Morning are lighter at 6:30 A.M. & afternoons are lighter longer, almost to 6 pm.  Nice.  Thoughts of spring.

Friday, February 19, 1999

Another Fri. A.M., the 19th.  Dad is still sleeping, so I'll start a letter.

Tues/ nite there was a horrible smell in the house.  A skunk must have been scared & let off his "perfume".  Something scared it - a cat or maybe the lite on the garage that comes on with movement.  It was bad.

Mon. nite Barb & I both got bargains at Penneys.  Barb has wanted a skirt to go with a sweater she has.  Looked & looked to no avail & we found what she wanted in a sales rack.  I found a 2 pc. outfit.  A knit skirt & top.  Aqua color.  Skirt a little long but I can take it up.

Got my order from Penney's & all fit fine.  So now I have something that fits!

Oh yes -- kiddingly I asked Barb if she had any dresses I could wear.  Her answer - "they wouldn't fit you."  Last week she caame up with 2 & one I like.  Andn it fits!!!

Mon. the 22nd I see the eye Dr.  My right eye is blurry - have a cataract starting so maybe it's "riper" now.  Edna had cataracts removed.  An easy process today.  Then Mar. 2 I see Dr. McNett for a check-up.

The weather shouldn't be too bad today so I'm going to try to walk over town & maybe browse thru D&K & go into CVS.

Dad sleeps more now & it's harder for him to get around.  Because of that I don't get to church as often as I like.  Last Sun. the pastor was gone & Roger T. preached & John Check had the liturgy.  They are both great.  Maybe too good allowing the pastor to take Sundays off.

So Roger Clemens is a Yankee.  I hope they don't have it this year.  Give someone else a chance.  At least Derek Jeter got some money from George!  More than he wanted to part with.  Also noticed Cal Ripken still wants to play but won't start every game.  Guess it's hard to retire.  I read an article & his wife doesn't like baseball & would rather have him home.  He's had a long career.

Dad fell twice this week.  One day after lunch.  One A.M. I came down & I always check to see if he's in bed.  Went into the bathroom & when I came out he was on the floor & I didn't hear any noise.  Dale got him up & back in bed & he didn't get up til 11:30 A.M.  I made noise but it didn't bother him.  Tried to wake him to no avail.

Ruth sent us pictures of Rachel's wedding.  Arland performed the service in her apt.  I wouldn't recognize Rachel.  Ruth said David's waiting for his S.S. numbers (or whatever) & then he can look for a job.  They are looking for a house & I guess they found one they like & have to wait to see if it goes thru, etc.  Barb thinks Rachel & Mim look more like sisters than mother & daughter.  As I understand it, they'll have a church wedding in Aug.  Another wedding to go to.  Ruth approves of David so he must be OK!

Spring training has started so I hope our spring weather won't be too far away.  Hoping to see robins soon.

Time for a 2nd cup of coffee.

I'm happy for JoAnna - tell me more about what JoAnna will be doing - what is expected of her in this job, etc.  Wonder what her former boss thinks.

Friday, October 27, 1995

Thanks for your letter.  I have a good start on Christmas - Bon Ton has had some great sales.  Really need ideas for Paul & JoAnna..

To celebrate the Bicentennial they will put an engraved brick walk in front of the theater.  Engraved names in blocks for 75.00 a brick.  Plan to get one for Dad & am thinking of getting one with Andy & Eddie Nelson on it.

I bought a paperback finally.   K is for Killer by Sue Grafton.

Also got a book by Sara Paretsky at the library, "Guardian Angel" & now I found I've already read it.  Also got "Texas Rich" by Fern Michaels & "The Nightingale Legacy" by Catherine Coulter, a newer book at the library.  If I couldn't read, life would be drab.

Went to the dentist for a cleaning & check & had 1 cavity & got it filled last Mon.  Next Mon. I get my yearly physical, which was postponed from a Sept date.

We are enjoying the World Series.  I stayed up to the end of the 11 inning game.  12:45 AM, our time.

Don't care for the TV set up - for the play offs & the 2 channels having to share.  Prefer A.B.C. but they talk too much to suit me.  I put together 2 puzzles while watching the games.  Prefer to be doing something as I watch.

When Barb first started bringing Scott here for a cooky, he was shy.  Now he comes in with a big "hi" & leaves with "goodby".  He is talking much more.

Barb wants to take Fri. Nov. 3rd off & she & will go to the Erie Mall to shop.

Stella is home from the hospital.  Did OK after the operation.  But the Dr said she'd either have to go to a nursing home or to Dan's for awhile, so she is with Dan & family.  Naturally she hopes to get to her own apt as soon as possible.

Signe is at Lila's this weekend as Carolyn will be at her college reunion.  Ruth called to let us know about Stella & told us about Signe.

Now it's Sat A.M., Nov. 4th & I'll finish this.

When talking about books, forgot to mention I bot "Chicken Soup for the Soul"  and have enjoyed reading the different stories by various people.  They are inspirational.

I had my yearly physical & all is well.  Visited the dentist, had 1 cavity & got it taken care of.  Got my eyes examined & just had 1 little change in my right eye.  He said my eyes are in fine shape, couldn't believe I was 75 & that whatever I was doing to keep it up.

Yesterday Barb & I went to Erie.  She drove & we had no problems - she is a good driver.  We went to a new dept store Kohl's & it is nice.  Ate at The Olive Garden & really enjoyed it.  T hen to Barnes & Noble Book Store.  Fun to look there.  Next Stop Toys R Us & we had fun there & just about finished the boys' shopping there.  (If only it were that easy to shop for their parents!!)   We weren't in the Mall for long as it was nearing 3 pm & we wanted to be on our way home.  Time went just too fast, but so much fun.

I was in bed by 10 pm & up at 6:30 A.M. as I couldn't sleep any longer.   Dad gets a hair cut this A.M. & then Barb & I will go to our Mall for a couple of things and get groceries.

We're having our first snowflakes this A.M.  Yesterday we were lucky, we had sunshine but you could feel it getting colder.

Finally met our new neighbors.  Halloween I made double batch of Danish & bro't over 8 & introduced myself.  The next day I got a nice note from her.  Al & Pat Herrera, Kyle & Alyssa.  We just talked at the door a few minutes.  In the card she said when she is "more settled we'd love to have you over".

Bob & Lynn bro't Marissa & Scott here for trick 'n' treat & I had 8 rolls for them.  And Lar stopped in after raking at Carey's & he got some rolls.  I'm known for something - my rolls!  Better than nothing!

Kim will be glad when 5 pm comes as then she will have completed more credits toward her master's degree.  Thurs nite after they left here, she had to complete a paper for this.  A new Sam's (WalMart) opened in Lakewood so they'll go out to eat & then shop there, etc.

Dale got a V.C.R. for his room & also bot & installed a garbage disposer for our sink.  Old one wore out.  All is well here.
