    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…

    Looks like we’re going to have another cold weekend. Not as bad as the last few though. I had swollen glands today so I’m really not up to par today. Today we had a bunch of little Redpolls visit our bird feeder. They look a lot like a goldfinch but have red on their heads…

    This month has been unreal; the blizzards seem to come one after another. We’ve had very high winds and wind chills of -74 to -101 degrees and that’s cold. Most of the blizzards come on weekends making it impossible to go to church for 2 weeks in a row. I’m glad we’re feeding the birds…

    One whole year since I’ve written in this. I hope I’ll be able to stick to this this this year. Donny is in 1st grade and likes it very much. His teacher is Mrs. Killinger. He does very well in school. Helen is in kindergarten and loves it. She adores her teacher, Mrs. Bintz. Christmas…

    I can’t believe it’s 1981 and that it’s been this long since I wrote anything down in this journal. A lot has happened since 1979. Keith and I have both grown in our faith. I’m thankful for that. Christmas this year was good. Had more meaning for us all. Keith has been working at Fort…

    Well, today was Thanksgiving. We had turkey with all the fixins’. Grandma Krumpos, Steve, Carol, Grandpa Schmidt and Jenny all came over for dinner. We all had a good time. Donny said “we had the best  turkey in the whole wide world”. Both Donny and Helen were very tired tonight. Today was in the 40’s…

Got any book recommendations?
