There were 66 singers, Alvina said, because she counted them. Everyone said the choir was great.
Skip and Eileen Sieger drove to Wichita Sunday afternoon to visit Phil and Renate Huttig. Eileen attended a hospital auxiliary meeting Thursday morning and heard a talk on diabetes.
Vicki Smolik reported a little frost Monday morning. I picked a mess of fresh asparagus Sunday morning and enjoyed it at lunch. Asparagus, fresh from the garden, is better than anything you can buy at a store.

Betty Ireland and Roseva drove to McPherson Thursday to attend the FCE district meeting. They brought home material for the 2004 program.
Greg and Mary Beth Bowers spent Friday and Saturday in Wichita entertaining the children and grand- children of the Gideons at the state convention.

Dorothy Hayen called to tell me that Leon Hayen from Topeka and Max Hayen were out this week to help John with fence repairs and pasture burning. She reported .30 inch of rain Sunday morning.
