Sorry. Life is boring in Salem. Not much has been happening.

the weather has gotten colder, but not as cold as you are going to get.

Your sister played really well tuesday night, but not too great yesterday. they lost 3-0 to West. She did get to go to Pita Pit though. After that, your dad and I went to see Mr. Cross at the Silverton Hospital. He had his hip replaced and should have gone home today.

AS you found out, no school today. Graded in the morning and went to a grading workshop in the afternoon. It was pretty good. Your sister had a busy day. Practice at 10, then after lunch she went to hit golf balls. She also went to the golf club to talk to Chuck. They want her to work Saturdays instead of Nick, so she is working the 18th and the 25th. Chuck just crossed out Nick"s name. They must have been talking about it earlier. Your sister is happy about that.

Right now, I'm doing this and your puppy Maddie is barking. She has 25 min. before dinner.

Tonight, your dad is at a football game at West. It is hopme coming so he will be late. They are having their dance next Saturday.

Tomorrow, he took a day off and is going to play golf with Fitz. They have anough guys for 2 groups. WE are going to Trysiting tree on Saturday. Hopefully, our tee time is early enough(11) that we will miss some of the traffic for the OSU football game.

I am ready for Boise and as you know you will be getting a box of stuff.

Love you,

MOM
