March 26, 2016 Just ordered my second child sized mannequin. This one should be the right size for two of my little girls I am sewing for. I only need one more to fit an eight year old, then I should be all set for a few years. The girls I sew for start out at three and go to eight right now. There are six of them for the time being. I need to get busy on the summer dresses I have picked out for them. I only have the first one partially finished for a five year old. I am leaving in about 15 days for my trip to the west coast and Alaska. I have not decided how long I will be gone might be eight weeks or more.

March 20, 2016 A new twist has been thrown into my world. Yesterday was garbage day and my cousin and I have been doing the garbage collection for several years.

I did question if I had done something to upset him and he said yes but would go no further. Stating he need to discuss with his counselor before he was willing to talk to me. I suggested it might have something to do with a certain person and his comment was he expected I would go there. Said he w
March 6, 2016 Well, I have been home a week now and nothing much has changed here. Had dinner with dad and Martha two nights, while Sherry was still here. Martha is still not engaging with me during a conversation. Guess I am still on her "Do Not Talk To List!" Makes it so much easier for me to just stay at my house! If dad needs me he will call me or someone will let me know. My train trip home was uneventful I didn't even see any really interesting people on the return trip. I did talk with one woman who went to a Spring Arbor College in 1965 and 66. She didn't seem to know any of the people I knew, or could think of at the time. So we didn't have much of a conversation. Some of the scenery was exception, especially the sunrise and sunsets over the mountains.
