    Lots of time has gone by since I wrote in my journal. Donny’s 10 years old and Helen is 8 years old. They’re really getting big. Keith is coach for their baseball team. (Degroot’s Construction). Galen is the assistant coach. We’ve been at Central almost 1 year now and really like it. We’ve got all…

    Today was cooler again. Nice for working. Seems like the only thing you hear lately is the election coming up in November. I think this will be a real important one. Our tomatoes still aren’t ripe like everyone else seems to have ripe ones. Corn is later this year too. I think it’s almost ready…

    We had rain this afternoon. This morning was very nice. Aaron stayed overnight last night with Donny and Kelly came over this afternoon to play with Helen. School starts in a week — doesn’t seem possible that summer’s almost over. Cathy and Les came out tonight to get their puppy Marge came up last night…

    It’s really been awhile sine I wrote in my journal — just can’t figure out where the time goes. So many things have happened since I last wrote. We joined Central Assembly of God this last July. We were baptized the 17th of July. Rosie had 4 puppies July 3. They’re so cute; the little…

    We’ve been having some very nice weather now. Last month Donny and Helen had chicken ox. They had very bad cases of them. Glad that’s over for them. The kids are starting computer classes at school. They like that. Helen still goes to dance lessons on Saturday morning. She likes that. I went to a…

    This morning we went to church and came right home after. We invited Dorothy up for lasagna. Keith had to work 3-11 today. Donny and Helen played outside this afternoon. I did chores. The weather was in the high 20’s today; it seemed nice compared to what we’ve been having.

    Today was really cold again. Hope we get some decent weather pretty soon. Keith is working 3-11 today. We had a pretty quiet day. Keith had a couple of errands in town so he took Helen in for her dance lessons this morning. Our water was froze this morning so it was a little more…

    Seems impossible that all these years have gone by. So much happened since I last wrote in this journal. Donny and Helen are such great kids. They’re really getting to be quite the Christians. Marge and Jim are in the process of getting a divorce. We’re expecting a miracle in Jim’s life. We’re praying for…

    Weather is getting somewhat better in the 20’s. Gas has gone down to $1.16 a gallon for awhile anyway. Our church had a roller skating party last night; we had a lot off fun. Helen’s first time on roller skates. Keith is working 3-11 shift for awhile I guess. Can’t wait for some good outside…

    Saturday, January 30, 1982

    Today we had a wonderful time. First Keith had a meeting at church for the Neighborhood Spirit Group. While he was there I took Donny, Helen and Jena to the mall. After we went to lunch at Arby’s then we went to a matinee, Cinderella. By the way, I got a chance to shake Senator…
