Today I finished taking down the Christmas tree. In on way it was good getting everything put away, but there’s always a little sadness with it too. It symbolizes another year coming to and end. — A lot of good memories. The kids started back to school today. They had a basketball practice after. Cathy […]
Wow! 1989 — impossible! Donny is 14 going to be 15 this year and Helen is going to be a teenager. Where do the years go? Christmas was nice. We went to church Christmas Eve then to Dad’s. He enjoys us coming over. We came home around 9:00 and opened our gifts. Our main gift […]
Today was a scorcher. 100° F. We’re in the worse drought since the 1930’s. Today we got more hay along the road. It’s going to be hard to get this year. Helen is doing a lot of babysitting lately. She took care of Greg and Richie Dalaire today. Don just got back from staying with […]
Christmas came and went so fast this year. We went by Dad’s Christmas Eve for a couple of hours, then came home, the kids were anxious to open their gifts. Donny got a shift, pajamas, Nintendo game, Mach Rider, Zapper and some Matchbox cars with a case from Helen. Helen’s big gift from us was […]
Tonight was a Christmas play (Arch Angel) at church. This is the first year I didn’t have any children in it. Don ran the spot lite and Helen helped me in the kitchen. We had an afterglow downstairs after with punch and cookies. Keith is working 10-6 so he didn’t go, he was just too tired. […]
Don had braces put on in September. He had to get them tightened today. I picked him up from school and after I took him out for lunch before I brought him back to school. Our Christmas tree is up since last Monday when we went to Algoma to get it. Keith set it up […]
Today was a busy one. We plastered the downstairs bedroom. Always makes other things a mess. Don’s basketball team won their first game tonight against Redeemer Lutheran. Don and Helen both like basketball. Mr. Birr, their coach, is exceptionally good. Neither Don or Helen got to play much but that will come. Don doesn’t have […]
The days and months go so fast. Today Donny got his Nintendo TV game set. He worked and saved his birthday money for it. Thanksgiving is this week. Galen is dating Teresa Caldron very seriously. The kids have basketball practice every day after school except Fridays. Uncle Earl died last Sunday at 8 p.m. He […]
Today was cloudy, but really nice for January. I changed all the sheets today. They sure smell good when you hang them on the line. Keith went to a Phoenix game at the arena with Donny and Aaron. They played Chicago State and won 88 to 55. The days go so very fast. The kids […]
We got snow today, It’s nice out though, no wind. Kids didn’t have school today because of a special Christmas program the nuns had they needed the classrooms. It’s hard to believe Donny is in 6th grade and Helen is in 5th grade. They really like Christian school. Seems nice to just have 2 horses […]
