| January 31, 1985 Dear Duane, Mickey & boys, Things have been changing fast around here. Dad worked on cars on Jan. 14 and moved out the 15th. They got their lease settlement on the 15th and closed and finished moving the 16th. Most of the things were put in our home garage. About 4 pm on the 16th, we drove up to check on Grandma and leave Sandy with her. On Thursday at 11:00 am we started driving, landing in Kansas City, MO. the first night. The snow was piled higher there than at home. We ended up in Hot Springs, Arkansas and played golf in 68 degree weather on Saturday afternoon. Sunday the temp had dropped to 1 degree but with the sun shining i seemed warmer. We scouted out a motel that had a golf course and offered free golf to their customers as the fee on Saturday at the Country Club was $30.00 for the two of us. The motel was also nicer than we have it at home and we paid $34.00 a night. We played lots of golf- slept, ate and watched TV. The temp most of the week ran from 25 degrees in the night to 50 and 55 degrees in the afternoon. If the sun was shining and you were out of the wind, it was actually sun tanning. We enjoyed it much. Left Arkansas on Friday the 25th and landed at Jerry and Jans. (Lindsay) The snow piled along the highway in Illinois was higher than the semi behind us. The winds really make the drifts in that flat country. We got home late Saturday night and picked up Sandy on Sunday. My boss gave me a full time job today. If I can handle it, I will be cashier in teh cafeteria- hours will be 7:30 am-3:30 pm with all benefits included. This is hospitalization, dental and profit deal which I haven't completely discussed yet. I think I could like this. I knew if I started writing a letter to your we would hear from you tonight. Dad is talking to Duane now. (on the phone) Mostly I wanted you to see this beautiful newspaper item they did on Dad and John. Will enclose it in this letter. We talked to John Tuesday night and he is planning on coming back on Monday. He has been down to see Avis in Missouri. Our station is boarded up and the pumps are gone. It really is hard to see it that way. It looks ghostly. How are you doing? I talked to your Dad on Sunday, Mickey, and he sure sounded happy to be at home. Hope you are keeping warm! Love, Mom & Dad Christmas 1986 Found the 1983 Olds we had to have up in Pine City, from the banker. One week of vacation at cabin, really enjoyed the Wednesday flea market. Started butter knife collection. Golfing still terrible. Arlie and Ruby joined us on a week end. Mickey's big birthday party, we went to Duluth for wedding on the boat– all beautiful. Lost our renters, got a guy - Rick Roeser and gal Julie Franco. She is also leaving January 5th. Visited Todd & Kim on Sept 19th week end. Toledo- Museum farm - Defiance - GM Plant. New granddaughter Jennifer Lynn in May. Fun watching Chelsea's learning to walk. Jessica and Ryan love each other. Jason started school. Thanksgiving at home - no Todd & Kim. Christmas at Lori & Dougs new house. Christmas 1993 In February the granddaughters took me to have my ears pierced. I can now put them on without looking, but my old "fingers" wished I had pierced sooner. In February we also got "Rusty" Dad's dog. If we had to have a dog, they don't make them any better than the one we got. We have enjoyed go health this year. We drove to Waukesha, Wisc. with Harriet and Ken Vassar to watch Todd run. Great trip. Our vacation was spent visiting Toots and Bern, 41st Anniversary for Dury & Esther and a golf party for Ken Carlson's retirement. Twelth year at Land O Lakes. Christmas Eve at 4208 Jackson St. in Columbia Heights, MN. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
