Sitting here relaxing all by myself this afternoon, {after working all morning} and picked up this journal that I kept for one year and started reading it. It is one of those small "year books" with about 3 inches of space for each day of the year. I would jot entries of daily activities. Man it wears me out when I read it, but that is another story. I was living in So. Ia. at the time on a farm. The year is 1979 No this is not the year I am going to write about later. This just happened to be the year I keep this journal. I want to share a few pages that Em will find interesting,

June 26th. Marge called from Des Moines about 5;30 and will be in here later this evening... Marge and Em got her at 10;30...
June 27, Went to Fairfield for groc and to check about Marge keeping the U-haul a few extra days, It will cost her 6$ a day extra.

I am sure this is boring as heck to everyone and I lost you somewhere along the line but that is OK ... This is my blog and if I want to copy old journals I guess I can. Hope you gals find this amusing at least.

It took several months to send your stuff. As I had to keep reboxing it as you would send me a list of what you wanted and the money to ship it. Ha. Ha. what a time. Will bring the little journal for you to ready.
