crocheting again

Dear Daughter,

Tomorrow, at school, the children will be saying that they want to know what you have been doing. Are you going to tell them that you have a Crown Victoria car? I'm sure they will see it inthe parking lot. I simply can't wait to see it!

It has been a really rainy looking rain today, but I don't think it has actually rained a bit. The TV weatherman said this morning that we would have scattered showers this afternoon, and the temperature would be 73.

I need a few things at the Grocery, but I don't think I will go this afternoon. Both Daddy and I went to bed to rest a while. He is still asleep, but I think he is doing okay.

I finally got my checks straightened out. I tore up the one I had written to Bell South and gave it in an envelope to the Church. When I was checking the cancelled check from the bank, I noticed they had a check for $82.37 from me to Bell South. Thank you for calling them and telling me about it. Now I am putting a check for $70 to the Church, so that makes it all right. Thanks to you and Daddy!

I will sort of be glad when the Rita and Harry have come and gone. We would take them to the cafeteria, but, of course, it won't be open. So, we may go to Wendy's, because we haven't been there in a long time.

I know I shouldn't feel sorry for Dot, but, I can't help it. I certainly hope they find someone who would be a good manager. I told Dot that maybe when they got her letter of resignation they would ask her to stay and do some minor adjustments in a manager's position. Of course, she didn't think so.

Guess I had better go and start getting ready for church. I will crochet while I am waiting for church. I have four squares made, and it seems that it will take longer to put them together than it does to crochet. But I enjoy crocheting, and, you made it possible for me to crochet again, by bringing me the books, the crocheting thread, and, so I enjoy it!

Hope you have had plenty of sleep -

Much love, M & D

Dear Mother:

It’s another Monday morning. There just seem to be more Mondays than any other day of the week, don’t you think? They seem to occur ever so much more often than Fridays! Ah well, I guess there have to be Mondays so we’ll appreciate Fridays. So, how are you this Monday? Are you planning to go to the grocery? Got any other errands? I hope you don’t have to venture too far afield today and that you can have a relaxing day.

Not much is going to be happening at school today—I hope. Since my students didn’t get computer day on Friday, they begged me to have it today so I agreed. Oh, they had to beg to make me agree but finally they talked me into it! Seriously, though, I anticipate my usual Friday experience to take place today instead so I guess everything will be okay. It’s good to have today because I need a little time to get a few lessons ready to start our new unit. Since today is Columbus Day, I think I may delay the start of the science unit by having a little one-day Columbus lesson tomorrow. Then I’ll be gone on Wednesday with the third grade field trip and Friday will be computer day so that leaves Thursday. Surely I can think of one science-related activity for one day!

As I told you last night, I think I'll wait to tell the children about the new car when I actually have it. Since I know they will want to see it, I'll wait until I can drive it to school and then I'll take them out to show it to them. If they are extra special nice, I might even let them sit in it!

It’s another warm, muggy morning. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow and then be nice on Wednesday. I sincerely hope the forecast is right because of the Wednesday field trip. Other than that, I don’t have anything to think about—just the weather! So I’ll go now, look in my closet for something to wear that is cool but doesn’t look summery—dressing this time of year is always a challenge. Hope you all have an okay day and that things settle down for your apartment building.

Bye--Ruth
