Diary Entry for 10/7/1999

Down to 19° overnight. Sunny day. Rev. Jane called and offered me a ride out to Genesis to see Merrill. Amy here to clean. She addressed Diabetes envelopes for me. Lyla stopped by. Brought me pictures of Elgin and Carmi. Elgin called in evening to say Gilson Strader, 69 is very ill in Ottawa Hospital. Has to have kidney removed. His blood is too thin to have operation. I called Lyla to tell here. I sorted dishes in china cabinet.
