Week of 16 May 1983
It’s Mike again, continuing with journal updates from Mom.
Although summer was just around the corner, Mom continually notes cold temperatures, typically with lows in the 30’s. They had planted some corn earlier and it was lost. Dad needed to replant the garden. Her carpool fellows were all on vacation this week and she had to go solo. Lisa called to let her know she liked her new job in Salt Lake City, but she was feeling under the weather. Mom finished up making a sweater, booties, and a hat for Lisa’s baby on the way.
This week was Cris’ birthday. Of course Mom went all out making a cake. Cris got a clock radio, two dolls, and a book of poetry. Dad was working swing shift that week so they got him out of bed before everyone else had to leave for the day so they could all sing Happy Birthday to Cris. Because Dad was on swing shift, Dan took Cris that week to the Primary Daddy-Daughter activity at the church. That week Cris sang at a school event for the long-time janitor and a teacher who were both retiring.
Over the weekend Mom took Cris to a park in Brigham City so she could have a picnic birthday party with some of her friends. Afterwards, she went with Dan to Ogden where they joined others from the German club and put flyers on cars to raise money for a trip.
That Sunday, Mom and Dad went on a nice motorcycle ride after church. Later that day they visited with their friends, Dave and Mary, over hamburgers.
