We're watching the Mets & even if they "stink" I can't give up on them. Maybe they'll get going one of these days.
Paula Carey [neighbors' daughter] graduated from college; will be working in Philly, but now is on a month's tour of Europe. A gift from her folks. When she saw Kim she said "What have you done to Larry - he's so think & he's losing his hair." Kim was a little upset & then Paula said "I bet his mom is mad." I laughed when Kim told us this. Larry is the same as ever - I don't think he's thin. He's very busy with extra summer work.
Barb gave me an impatient hanging basket & we put it on the front porch. We noticed birds flying around it & today when I went to water it, a bird flew out and scared me. Later we checked on it & there is a nest in it & the bird is sitting on 5 eggs. Now I'll be afraid to water the plant. It is a small sparrow-like bird.
I planted some flowers by the side of the house & by the garage. It got cold last nite. Marigolds by the side of the house.
Last Sun nite we were at First Luth for the Ordination of their new asst pastor. A woman who is a native of Germany - her folks still in Germany. We were impressed with her. A beautiful service.
This month we're going out to eat with our friends on a Mon. nite - next Mon. - & we're going to the Flying @ Ranch at Kellettville. None of us have been there but those who have say it's nice.
How are things with you & our darling grandson. We miss you.
All is fine here.
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.
