Visit Sunday, and the Shirley Temple scrapbook


Note the coat.
I got there fairly early near 1:PM and they  said she had already finished a good lunch and went back to her room.  The right one as it turned out.  She was in bed but not asleep.  I wanted to take her out on the patio to see the Shirley Temple scrapbook she made when little.  Her blue overcoat was not in the room so I had to use one of her jackets.  It isn't cold but she requires a coat of some kind.  

 The visit today noted no problems in her has developed.  I brought along the Shirley Temple scrapbook she made when Shirley Temple was growing up.  I turned the pages for her and she looked at the pictures.  She said later it was pretty or words to that effect.  I don't think she understood that she had made it.  Her sister Shirley Joanne Brown was named after Shirley Temple.  Kay begged her mom for a sister and as luck would have it she got a sister and not a brother.   I also gave her a Toffee candy and graham cracker to eat. After holding hands about an hour I left and came home.  I finally have the route figured out for the shortest way there

Visit Kay and scan scrap book.


Kay and her Beauty Operator

Bob finally got here about 5 PM and we then went to visit Kay.  As expected she was eating dinner so we went out to the truck and he tried to get my police scanner working which he did.  

We went back and visited her for a while and she was so glad to see him.  I don't see how he could  not want to come back and be greeted so warmly again.  We wet down in the opposite direction to go home while  I looked for a place to eat.  I had seen a Jack I The Box in that direction yesterday with Tom.  Instead of Jack in The Box we found a fish and chips run by a couple Chinese or Japanese  which had a good menu so I bought us some at good price too.  Compares  well with eating at Jack in The Box or MacDonalds.  

We came home and he finished setting up the police scanner and connected the chargers to it and the Ham radio.  
Before he came I decided I had to do something with some Scrap books Kay made when very little.  One was a Shirley Temple scrap book still in one piece.  I scanned it but as usual I calculated wrong and did not do a good job.  I had intended to just give it a cursory scan but send the entire book to Shirley and didn't think I needed a good scan.  One of the reasons I am scanning these books is to get it on Google so it will be permanently on the internet.  So I will now have to redo it with the proper settings so it will  look good.  Dumb me.  If you want to know the hipe about Shirley Temple look it up in a day or two.  Kay did a great job accumulating information about Shirley Temple. Kay's sister was named after her.  I think it is a fine scrap book  and if you want to know about shirley temple be sure to  look it up.

She also made other scrap books that I am going to scan. Other people would just throw them out but I want them saved. They are not in good condition but the internal sheets are ok so I will also scan them too.  Great for fashions and what was going on in the early thirties.  Adjusting the scanner properly will get good results.  I  didn't set the scanner for best results the first scan.
