Good news, sad news


"June 30, 1994:  Met Tom and Merilyn at Wee Town.  Then on to Fort Randall -- Howard and I with Raymond and Marina.  Merilyn struck it rich -- got $2,500 on the poker machine.  Nancy came in evening.  On way home we stopped at Prenger's to eat.
July 1, 1994:  Rose Thies died, funeral July 5."

I am not a pessimist by nature, but I am pretty sure I could play a poker machine for 15 years straight and not hit $2,500.  I just don't seem to be that lucky.  But, oh well. 

I've talked before about visiting Rose Thies when I was a little girl.  I always liked her.  And so accordingly, here is probably the only photo I have of her.
