Happy
New Year!
Snow
flurries whitened everything to welcome the new year. Tried to go to the
matinee movie of “Tootsie.” but it was sold out. Instead Terry, Kathy and their
friend, Lori, came to our house to play cards. (NB. I see that I have finally
run out of Suffern, NY return address stickers to use to attach paper items in
the journal, and have gotten scotch tape!)

Picked
up Nina S at 8:00 and when she asked how we were getting to Anita’s
house, I realized I left the directions at home. Went to get them, then took
the Thruway south into Pennsylvania, then I-79 towards Pittsburgh, and finally
Rte 22 east to Murrysville. We arrived at Anita C’s house about 12:30 to
see Anita, her husband, Nickey/Yun-Ko, and son, Michael. Had lunch of won tons.
Went shopping with the family, then helped Anita make egg rolls that we had for
dinner with beef and broccoli, chicken with peanuts and bamboo, and cabbage and
mushrooms. All delicious! Nina brought a chocolate torte for dessert.

After
breakfast, at 8:30, I drove Michael C across the street to kindergarten,
and Anita C and Nina S followed in Anita’s car. I had to stop and get
gas (where a loudspeaker asked me if I was paying by cash), then followed Anita
into Pittsburgh to her job at Children’s Rehab. We got a tour, and helped Anita
with a couple of her kids. Anita had to help feed kids at lunch time, but
afterwards we were able to go to the cafeteria. We said our goodbyes about
13:00 and Nina and I headed back to Buffalo, arriving about 17:30.

Went
to UCPA, arriving at 8:50 to meet the P.T. staff, and help Nina S treat
Matthew S. Went to the Infant Program, then to O.T. to visit with Lea
S, Helene and Natalie. I saw Cheryl in speech and a few teachers, as
well as Helen the social worker.
After
lunch I went to renew my driver’s license and transfer registration from one of
Frank’s VWs to another. Saw Donald Ty, who sat behind me in alphabetical
order in many high school classes. He’s started his own company, working with
bands.
Bought
a portable cassette player with radio. Wrote a letter to get my New York State
tax refund and catalogued the rest of my slides.

Went
downtown to the library to take out a recording of the theme of “Chariots of
Fire” to copy onto a cassette. Saw the NFTA display in Main Place Mall.
After
dinner, Terry, Kathy and I went to Studio Arena Theater by 19:30 to pick up
tickets for the ushers’ preview of The Raisin in the Sun. Their friend Linda
arrived before the play began at 20:30, and with two intermissions it lasted
until 23:30! I saw Mary E’s mother, Jackie R, Ray W, and Nora
the nurse. Plus other familiar faces like P.T. Sandy and Maxine C.
We
then drove down Elmwood Avenue so that I could see the blue neon lighting of
the “Elmwood Strip,” and the neon Tango sign.

Recorded
music on a cassette, and bought a camera, a Canon Sure Shot AF35M, a point and
shoot camera. The first one was defective and I had to exchange it. The Fujica
camera I had borrowed from Terry was promised to a friend of hers, so I gave it
back. My own Minolta was still being repaired!
