Hard to believe it’s 1987. Don is 12 and Helen is 10. Donnie is almost as tall as his father. Keith is at Fort Howard for 6 years now, that’s also hard to believe. He likes Southern swing shift better than 11-7 all the time. the kids like Christian School, we’re hoping and praying they’ll…

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…

Christmas was different this year. Donny had the flu and strep throat. Keith, Helen and Henry went to Grandma’s and I stayed home with Donny and wrapped presents. Christmas day I took Donny to the emergency room for an examination and some medication. Helen got a Preemie twin stroller from Grandpa’s money and table mate…

It’s been so cloudy and gloomy the last few days. Sure hope the sun comes out before too long or my tomatoes will never ripen. Donny and Helen stayed by Ken and Cathy’s last Friday night. They enjoyed that a lot. It’s hard to believe Kim and Carrie are in 1st grade this year. Sending…
