Space Shuttle & Apples

Wednesday, September 27, 1995   Laura is 11.  We have our home for sale.  I am now working 45 miles away from home.   The transmission on our van is bad (will only drive in first gear) so I am driving in first gear.  We have very little money as my new job pays about half of what I was earning.  The girls are basically on their own to get ready for school, get to school, come home from school, and take care of themselves after school til I get home later in the evening. 

Here is a letter I wrote to Laura in her journal:

Dear Laura,

This evening you watched the space shuttle ride piggy back on a 747 into the Salt Lake International Airport.  Awesome!

We had fun preparing apples from our tree to put into homemade pies on Sunday.  You were enjoying listening to the recorded book Having Our Say by the Delaney Sisters.

Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years by Sarah L. Delany


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


My family enjoyed listening to this book and learning from these remarkable women.
