Dianne visits from Achorage




At our house in Lake Forest Park




 I visited Kay the past couple days but am not going to visit her today.  Dianne is down from Anchorage  and has visited her so today I am taking the day off from a visit.  The past couple visits have been uneventful.  We, for the most part, just went to the patio and held hands.   I remember to take some Costco Toffee and she likes to suck on it.  There is not much to do when you cant drive and take her out for an outing.  I think she has her own clothes but she needs more slippers as she has only one pair and sometimes I cant find them.  I must email Tom and have him bring another pair or two  She seems to recognize me quickly when I first see her. Soon I want to bring her over here and give the inmates something to talk about.  I don't think the men will care when I bring her in but a lot of the women will I am sure.
I am finishing up a video of her scrap book she made of Shirley Temple.  Did you know that in 1936 Twentieth Century Fox gave her a 7 year contract at 1000 a week .  After that they gave her a raise to 1500 a week.  Fox was no doubt making millions off Shirley Temple. It was to be kept in a fund for when she was adult.  I wonder what   happened to it considering inflation.   

The video I made of the scrap book is 25 minutes long and describes the pictures, sometimes I read the articles Kay pasted in it.  If anyone wants a copy email me.  If you are a fan of Shirley Temple write.  I will also post it on youtube but youtube breaks it up into 10 minutes max time sections of course.
