This week included the kids going bowling, Mom researching films at the family history library, and a lot of remodeling work on the house. That Sunday was Easter. She was particularly moved by the church choir. Both Curtis and Michelle were with us for a ham dinner that evening, and some game playing.
Week of 23 April 1984
This week, baby Jessica was sick. Hans left for Florida. There were youth roadshows at the church (remember when that was a thing?). It was secretary’s day that week and Mom was treated at work. Her boss took a number of them to lunch. There was a blizzard during the week and temperatures dropped to 30 degrees, then ever further into the 20s. Crystal danced in some variety show at school that week. Mom decided she needed to go on a diet.
Hans eventually came back from the school trip to Florida. She notes all the preparations for Dad’s birthday along with a list of his presents. She goes on to mention that I bought an engagement ring to propose to Michelle.
