Nice try
On my birthday Daddy asked me out to eat at the Park [hotel] and then to the Eskin [theatre] to see "The Taming of the Shrew" Usually I am home at night (also days) and when I do go out, I prepare for it by resting up beforehand. Too too bad but a nice try.

Winter coat
(1968 February 21)
Yesterday I bought a new winter coat - blue and black - with fur trim so I can wear a fur hat with it ... if I want to. Half price and buttons up well at the neck. The one I wear to Church is too dressy for dashing downtown on errands.

ABC book
(1968 February 21)
So glad to get your letter, and I have been trying to get some pix to fill out Lawrence's ABC book, but we take almost no magazines that have pictures any more; however, I think that pictures of the family would be interesting to include - E for Elizabeth, G for Gail, M for Mama, etc. This does not mean I have stopped looking, and will send on any I come across.

Ale
(1968 February 3)
[After your quick Christmas visit] Even Daddy felt bad - he had gotten in ale, and with all the commotion never got it out. Wanted to have some with you. Well, you have to be terribly quick to get a record played, or something said you have been wanting to say, let alone favorite dishes cooked or drank, at Xmas.

Detour
(1968 February 3)
The Seminary [Street] bridge is unsafe and closed and being worked on, therefore all traffic to clinic etc. goes by our house, including school buses, trucks, etc. Big difference. People walk over the dam. Cabs charge 50 cents instead of 40. I was going to town to do a few errands but doesn't seem wise to add a dollar to my small purchases, so may rest up and go with LL at one some other day. He works late - TAXES.

Auditorium remake
(1968 Februry 3)
Friday spent nearly all day abed and took pills and was OK to go to opera at night. The Auditorium has been painted pale blue. All the gold cupids and trim done over. New furnace. Red covers on seat backs. Red carpet. It was "La Boheme" in Italian from Wis. U. and very well done. There were two sets - actually painted on each side. The interior of attic became outside of tavern. I was intrigued.

Daddy days
(1968 February 3)
Daddy did well this afternoon. Brot a lemon pie home in perfect order. He works away at his coin book and has a new Bach organ record. Tax time again. At the annual [parish] meeting last Sunday, he asked, at close of meeting, when we would be able to discuss this new service with Fr. S? And a few choice phrases not complementary. Next day, Fr. S. came by to see me, and Wed. night called by invitation, and he and LL had a very good private talk 8-11, but no concessions. At least, communication. Monday, yesterday, hestarted his coin book over from beginning. Probably all for best. Different approach.
