Hi to family and friends,
Another week has gone by---I've been busy again.
Sunday evening last week, Scott & Ami just wanted to sit on the deck in the evening and have a light supper. We scouted out a place like one they had enjoyed in San Diego. In--N--Out it was called. We picked up burgers and fries and had a deck meal. They had both been at the pool all afternoon so they were tired.
Monday morning they headed to the pool again for a couple of hours and then it was time to pack their bags and we left for the airport by 1:30. Scott drove over but I managed to find my way home again all alone through my tears. It was such a great weekend and I really enjoyed their time with me but it is always hard to say good-bye. They were delayed at this airport so they got home late but I think they were glad they came.
On my way home from the airport, I stopped for an hour at Doris & Arden Caldwell's and played a quick hand of 3 handed pinochle. Then I stopped and visited my former neighbor, Eileen, who is now in the nursing home. She was very glad to see me so that made me feel good.
Tuesday evening I took tickets at the dinner show. Wednesday I went to Lenten services and then visited Charley & Peggy Fleming. They are old friends from the Amboy area and Marland helped him farm a short while when we lived at the lake.
Thursday we had our annual street party. Last year it was at the same time that the Harley riders were here for a week so several of the people asked me when they were coming down again. They remembered that as they were coming back into the park after their daily ride, the neighbors all called out "Here come LaVerne's kids". They mentioned again how much they enjoyed watching all of them and how polite they were. They liked the bark of the bikes!! That evening, I ushered at another concert. It was a couple who sing on Broadway and they had wonderful voices. really enjoyed it.
Friday Jim & Corky Stenstrom, friends from Northfield, called me and came over to visit. I went with them to a concert at Monti Vista. Patti Paige was the entertainer---she is 81 years old and still has a marvelous voice. She is still recording so you know hew voice is still good.
Saturday I was home most of the day. I invited Clarence, my 95 year old neighbor, over for supper. He appreciates a home cooked meal once in awhile and it forces me to cook a decent meal occasionally.
Today I attended church. It is cloudy and cool with a threat of rain so it's a day to stay indoors and read.
Love, LaVerne
