Mom and Dad L. came over yesterday, bringing a Christmas gift from Dick and Helen, what a nice surprise!! I added a picture of the beautiful brass fireplace set they sent us to the pictures of Dan (below). Thank you so much Dick and Helen!!!!!!!!!

Cute joke Dan, no I won’t say those to the cop (except the one about doing 125, that I could have said!).

We went up to Mom and Dad H’s last night. Dan and Candy and kids had arrived back from their visit to see Mickey Mouse. We cleaned all morning and I baked two loves of bread. We napped for a while this PM. More pictures of Dan etc.

I came home tonight and Denise was here! She had cooked dinner! We ate and then both fell asleep on the couch. Denise has been getting a lot of  praise at work, she is impressive! We now are watching a bit of the Olympics.

Oops, Denise just got a call, heart transplant time, she will be on the phone for the next hour!

Dan was not to impressed with his first day here but the second was perfect! Denise just got home and must run.

February 16, 1998

What a busy weekend! My brother Dan and his family arrived:

Dan and Candy

It took us two trips to the airport but we did meet them.. Denise took the picture. Denis is training for the marathon next year, she ran three miles Saturday and Sunday, I rode my bicycle beside her.
I worked all afternoon and searching for FoxPro and doing our taxes. What a lot of work! I finally found a source for FoxPro in Canada. They ship today I hope!
We are awaiting word from Dan regarding them coming over and possibly going for a sail!

Friday the 13th!

Denise had the house all decorated, with a balloon, big kisses, etc, all around and several gifts, (chocolate bars etc. ) and a card. Inside the card were two tickets to see TITANIC. What a picture that was! No wonder it was nominated for so many awards!

Happy birthday to Caleb, understand he had a birthday party at Mom and Dad H’s last weekend.

Happy Valentines (and wedding anniversary to David and Jean) to all tomorrow!

February 11, 1998(PM)

Thank you Darren for helping me with Pov-Ray. I have now all the tools, now I just need time to learn them and apply them! Denise has beaten me again at Rummikub! this evening she beat me home and we played two games. She is now ahead  two to one!

February 11, 1998

We had a normal evening last night! Denise came home the last two nights before 7PM and we played Rummikub!
I also made another loaf of raisin bread, it raised so much, it opened the machine 4 inches! I had to put it in the oven to cook the last half hour! It is as good as usual though!
I have been spending all my spare time trying to get our taxes in order. Looks like we owe this year, a first for me.
Thanks for the letter Dan, hope we will be able to meet while you are here in Florida!

Sorry, I have not been very good at keeping this Home Page up, I have been properly chastened. Darrell, your new address is up on the Family Page. We have been both working hard, today I got the impeller for the salt water pump for the generator in the boat, this weekend I will install it and the electric generator will be running again! I also brought home the moniter that burned at work. I will tinker with it and try to build a computer for Denise out of it if I can get the pieces at the right price?! Anybody have a spare motherboard hanging around? I think it will be fun to see what I can do! I also broke down and bought a hatchet to cut up the firewood Roger gave me. It is burning nicely in the hearth right now!  Denise has newsmen at the hospial all the time now. I talked with Channel 10’s news anchor. He said the little girl from South America was due out of surgery tonight at 7PM.

February 7, 1998

I spent the day at the FES bridge breaking contest! I worked all day logging the bridges in, judging them, then breaking them! One withstood 380 pounds before breaking! This from 110 grams (less than 4 ounces) of  balsa wood and a littlle glue! We had a good time and the kids learned a lot.
Denise spent the day at work, she came home at 3PM but had to go back at 6PM.

Cannot believe it has been this long since I updated! Been really busy at work…a major client came today. We needed to put together a months worth of work in 4 days to get ready for them! We wowed them though.
Denise got a letter from St. Francis University today (she says I would embarrass her if I scanned it and put it on the Web) but she got accepted into the graduate program!!!

Febrary 3, 1998

Very busy at work.
Weather rainy yesterday but warm, today was sunny for the most part.
Denise had a seminar today and I had to stay late to interview a prospective employee. We have hired three new people in the past week and are interviewing for more!
Thanks to Roger Bansemer, I can continue with this program. I do not take advantage of all the capabilities but will be soom as I create a Home Page for the office!

We had a great time at Mom and Dad H’s. We went out for dinner, played shuffleboard, Denise won at cribbage, then played “Rummicube” (sp?) till quite late. Mom put us to bed and then in the morning set out a big breakfast for us! We came home and cleaned, I made some repairs on the boat (we could not go out because a guy who wants to buy it was coming over). I put pictures of Mom’s doll collection and other pictures of our visit up on ANNIV.
