Yesterday we arrived in Tippecanoe and visited Aunt Jeannie in her summer cottage home. It's very quaint, not an awful lot to it butit was near the lake and the lake was lovely. We did an awful lot of talking and catching up on current events on Mother's side of the family. I heard that Cousin Kenny recently celebrated his 40th. Jeannie came all the way from her first home in Louisville to go to the surprise birthday party in Lincoln, Nebraska. It as marvelous to spend time on the lake and watch other cottage dwellers play and fish. Jeannie made us a terrific supper. We had ramen salad, chicken and chocolate mandarin orange pie. Everything was sensational. My mother wrote the recipe down for the pie for good measure. Sadly, none of us slpt too well Thursday night. Father's portable seabap wasn't operational and he didn't recieve one wink. When he fell asleep he was afraid he'd stop breathing but kept himself awake. We discovered how to play Boggle before we went to bed. It's a rather fun, but challenging game. Father promised me we'd get one for ourselves someday. Other than the slight boredom of the small cottage and the fact that we weren't certain whether Jeannie would let us watch TV or not, I was able to finish "60 Minutes" in a day or two. It's a fascinating documentary and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in history post WW II or th development of journalism on TV. I'm interested in hearing what my father has to say once he has read it. The rest of the day will be eventful since I have to fill out applications for the State. I'm praying I have a call from someone once we return home. I'll never forget the new friends I've made at Tippecanoe. There was an older man named Steve who was very nice but had been through some rather harrowing experiences. He's a very religious man and a good friend of Aunt Jeannie's. The other man was named Andy and he was a Renaissance Man. Not only was he working on his Masters in Electronics, but he was also working on Marketing among other subjects.
Very intelligent, handsome and within age range, also single--The only trouble is he lived too far away to even consider a possible relationship but it was nice of Jeannie to notice that he was availible. Well, that's it for today. Mother returns to work fairly soon so technically vacation is done. However, she and I are going to Curves tomorrow and we're thinking of Eteljorde and Louiville for the future. I'll just be pleased to see my babies (Lisa and Peanut) again.
