Poor Dane again, maybe


"September 6, 1992:  Greta, Howard and I left at 6:30 for Lincoln.  Greta took us to Nancy's and then went to Mary's.  Nancy had dinner for us and Tom's.  In p.m. to Dale's for Dane's birthday.
September 9, 1992:  Went to Ladies Aid.
September 10, 1992:  Irene D. came in a.m. and shampooed the carpet.  Jean and Hank stopped for a few minutes in p.m.
September 11, 1992:  Irene D. came and vacuumed the carpets."

I have to wonder if this is the party for Dane when we all hid in the garage.  Dale or Lynn said something to Dane about his bike being missing and maybe stolen and they lured him in to the garage to check where we all promptly scared the poor kid to death.  If it wasn't this birthday, it was maybe the next one as I remember he was pretty young.  It's a wonder he isn't scarred for life.  Turns out he was more scarred by watching a show about a kid being abducted that he watched after Dale fell asleep and couldn't change the channel.  But I think I wrote about that before.

Here's a photo of Grandpa anxiously awaiting the trip to Lincoln.  (Actually it was taken in 1989, but he sure does look like he's anxiously awaiting something.)
