We're watching baseball on T.V. & the Mets have gone from first place to fourth, much to our dismay. They are losing today to Montreal.
We received your letter & naturally it pleases Carl very much that you want him to marry you & Paul. He has had weddings with a priest in attendance.
We have had some cool, rainy weather so haven't picked strawberries yet, but we hope to this week. We like to eat them fresh rather than frozen.
We did enjoy having you & Paul home for a week and we are pleased to have you for a daughter-in-law. None of the relatives were surprised to hear the news & they are happy, too.
This past week the girls from work got together for a pot luck lunch. Learned a new card game that is fun. It was a rainy day so we had to stay inside.
Carl & I are deciding where to go to use our Erie Fine Dining Card. Big decisions!
We were at the Church Synod meetings and enjoyed seeing friends there. It was an interesting convention.
Time to get to the Sun. crossword puzzle.
Until July 2010, when her eyesight deteriorated, my mother wrote 1000s of chatty letters during her lifetime - to her parents, in-laws, sisters, children, friends. Tho she started to write to me on a regular basis in Sept '68 when I began my freshman year at SUNY-Buffalo, it wasn't until 10 years later that I decided to hold onto them. (Very inconsistently at first, to which the big gaps between dates attest.) These are the letters transcribed, annotated, and otherwise highlighted here.
