An Affair to Remember

Wed., October 30, 2002 - Attended Book Club this evening.  Greta called Nancy & Nancy called me that Marie Parker died today.
Thurs., October 31, 2002 - I called Myrtle this morning. Annabelle called to tell me about Marie.  The funeral will be Saturday but I'm not up to traveling that far.  Tom came for supper, laundry & my shower.  Mary & the kid came for Trick or Treat.  (Mitch didn't go for Trick etc.  He stayed home & passed out goodies to those who came.)  Anna was a Jack in the Box.  Very clever costume.
Fri., November 1, 2002 - This evening saw the movie "An Affair to Remember".  Good show.

Oh, yes.  An Affair to Remember.  So lovely, so tragic, so enjoyable to watch.

This last weekend, there was a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for Bill and Jenny at the care facility where she lives.  Such a nice turnout and I am so glad the decision was made to mark the occasion.  Jenny wasn't able to enjoy it as we all wish she would have been, but maybe she felt the happiness and love in the room.  It would be great if I had a photo of the wedding to post, but I don't so a movie poster will have to do.

The things that stay with us

Sun., October 27, 2002 - Mary & the kids came after dinner.  Mary left to do cleaning for a lady.  The kids & I played UNO.  When Mary came back she ironed for me.  Mitch turned all the clocks back.  The 3 Yosts played several games of UNO before they went home.
Mon., October 28, 2002 - Played cards downstairs in evening.  Stopped at Dolores' afterward & played Rummikub.
Tues., October 29, 2002 - Papa died 82 years ago today.  I feel so bad that I remember so little about him.  The HandiVan took me for my hairdo & Mary brought me home.

I never recall Grandma mentioning the anniversary of her father's death, but obviously it was a date that she remembered, even 82 years later.

A quick trip north

Thurs., October 24, 2002 - Myrtle called.  Tom came a little later than usual.  He traded off his truck for a car.  The truck had poor mileage.  He will go to Winside Saturday for a load of wood for Nancy.  I'm going along & be at Greta's.  I called Greta tonight to warn her.
Fri., October 25, 2002 - Nancy came right after work for me.  We met Don & Linda Retzlaf at Nancy's place and then went to Staufer's Restaurant for supper.  We had a real nice visit & a good supper.
Sat., October 26, 2002 - Tom came a little after 8:00.  We had dinner with Greta & Lester.  I showed Greta a new Solitaire game. Started back to Lincoln after 2:00.  Tom & Nancy unloaded the wood.  Nancy brought me home so Tom could take the pickup truck to the dealer & get his new car.

I don't believe I have much to say about these entries, really.  Sure do miss going up to Winside for this or that, though.
