I noticed that there was very little posting today which is
understandable. I really didn't want to do much but ended
up getting a little cleaning underway. I probably wouldn't
have if Phyllis and Renee had not called and said they wanted
to come over. They were on their way to Sam's and brought
us a cake they had baked. I haven't cut it yet. We really
enjoy them. They are having lean times. Phyllis hasn't
sold a house since the middle of September. I wish the
real estate market would pick back up.

Ellie called to say that she had taken Adrienne in hand and
made her buy a new dress for the Valentine's dance. Ellie
has odd taste. It is red satin which she will wear with
a black shrug. Satin is a little much for a middle school
dance, I think. She will meet Dakota there for their "date"
Adrienne very seldom will go shopping.

It is strange but Linda's youngest daughter is beautiful
and outgoing and has never had a date. She is senior class
President in her Tulsa school but is very immature emotionally. Linda said that she still watches Sponge Bob
Square Pants with her girlfriends and Disney movies as well.
Linda is very glad because Sara has such a bad boyfriend.

Ruth called today and sounded so lonely. She said Sunday's
were her worst days. It got down to l7 below zero in
Wichita and her water froze despite heat tape on the pipes.

I think I will watch Places in the Heart tonight. That
Sally Field movie. I think that is the right title.
