(1994 January 20)
This afternoon I wandered into the dining room, where people were sitting in a circle ... Those in the circle were playing Bible Trivia, and I was surprised to find myself the star performer. All those childhood story books, some so beautiful; I wish I never gave them away. [Actually, Skip still has them.]

Absent-minder
(1994 January 18)
Ruth [Pilger] Andrews wrote me she could no longer remember me, and this has made me very sad. All she can recall is: I in a tam-o-shanter hiking along with her. I have slept with her in her bed in Ripon We shared classes and good times. I must forget her, I suppose. She is busy answering a tabletop of consoling letters since Dick's death.

Christie the mail person says she knows Skip's writing by this time, as today when she brot the mail around and said, "A card from Skip - I know his writing by now." Skip, let's work up a code to fool her!

Black cocker
(1994 January 8)
A woman here often brings her black cocker, perfectly trained. She pays no attention to him but he heels when she turns and never sits unless bid. She doen't bring him all the time.

Toenail scissors
(1994 early January)
Did we talk about baths here? You take one when your name comes up in a little notebook Dorthea keeps. So one night we had all this bath, and at the end she said, "This is as far as we can go. Your toenails need trimming, but we have no toenail scissors." - "Oh yes we do," says little Polly, triumphant by producing hers. Aren't these things always amazingly satisfactory? Beyond sense.

Hiker
(1994 early January)
Some years ago I had hiking boots like Sally's. I bought them at George's at Fond du Lac and brot them to Ripon, where Tommy and Hiker (Ruth Pilger) and I would sometimes walk to Berlin! [20 miles apart]. Very very tired when I got home. Part of discussion was if we should accept rides. If the road were icy and the way long, I think we would. I think I was the most in need of a ride and so tired.

Placement
(1994 early January)
I am trying to find a place for Toys for Tots calendar (Bears on cover). At least I have the hammer handy! ... I found a place for the Bears calendar; it is in the bathroom suspended from a hook meant for robes. You can sit and look at it for hours.
