Wed., December 4, 2002 - Had Meals on Wheels today. Nancy & I to the Lied Center tonight to see & hear The Three Irish Tenors. Dale took us there & then came & took us home.
Thurs., December 5, 2002 - Meals on Wheels again. Tom called in a.m. that they came home last night. He came in evening & brought our meal -- barbecued ribs. I showered. We didn't play Rummikub -- Tom was to tired. Myrtle called today.
Fri., December 6, 2002 - Meals on Wheels again. The Home Nurse came in p.m. Went downstairs this evening & saw "Heidi".
Ah, Heidi. Such a fun book and movie. I think it was one of Grandma's favorites. I know I was young when I was first aware of it, but not sure how young, nor the when or where of it all. I learned the following from wikipedia just now (where I also found the photo):
1. It was written as a book "for children and those who love children" (as quoted from its subtitle).
2. Heidi is one of the best-selling books ever written and is among the best-known works of Swiss literature.
3. Thirteen English translations were done between 1882 and 1959, by British and American translators.
4. About 25 film or television productions of the original story have been made, from 1937 to 2017.
