GAME




An old friend of Bob's, Dick Kutlas, called Friday night. He had an extra ticket to the NU-OU basketball game and wanted to know if Bob would like to go with him . Dick would pick him up.

We have had many chances this year to go to games. Casey has been getting tickets from a friend at work who couldn't go. It was always when the snow was too deep, too icy or just plain too cold to get out and make the effort.

This time Bob jumped at the chance.

Then came the 10:00 news.

Due to the terrible storm in the southern part of the country, OU couldn't get here in time for the afternoon game. It was changed to 7:00 PM that evening. Quite frankly, I am shocked they were even able to get here then.


Bob called Dick Saturday morning and they talked about it. I don't think Dick goes out at night anymore and he didn't want to go.

Dick lost his wife earlier this month. I posted a picture and her obituary. I think both Jerry and Donata might remember her.

I hope they get another chance to go to a game. I know Bob would enjoy it.

Jackie asked if I had ever gotten my "wireless' printer configured yet. No! Right after Christmas I decided to 'flip' the two rooms in the basement back the way they used to be and put everything in place to do that. Right now, neither room is done and the family room looks like a tornado hit it. I am pretty sure I know where the instructions are. I just can't get to them. I thought for sure I would make some progress this afternoon, but the Hallmark channel had a movie marathon on today. Watched a couple of very good movies and fell asleep during the last one.

I hope to get this done soon and the house decent enough so I can ask Jackie to come over and figure it out for me. I know another battle with that printer and I will come out the loser.

Bobbie, are you referring to picture #36 or #37?
In picture #36 that is Dad and Linus Schwarz.
Picture #37 is my First Profession Day March 12, 1952 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This was taken in front of the Prep School where I went to High School. I am sure everyone knows that is Dad and Mom with me. Donata

I could have sworn I had commented on this post? Guess not, but Riley did!

Do you answer your phone, Mom? It keeps going right to the answering machine...
