Last Fri. Barb, Kim & I went to "Open House" of these apt. & they are very nice but small. Fine for a widowed person, a single or someone starting out. It really is a fine improvement to that neighborhood. Dad missed as he played golf that aft. & it was just from 1-3.
The middle of Aug. will see the opening of a new dept. store downtown. Janick's. A couple from Calif. bot it (both experienced in the buying & wholesale part of the business) & that will be so nice. We look forward to it. Betty Lee is still vacant.
Did I mention Rick Seteli (Karen Seeley) who has worked for the city will take over as business mgr. doing the work Harry did & working with the Segal son who works with his dad but didn't want that part of the business responsibility. Can't remember his name - the red-headed one. Rick starts the end of June. It means a raise in salary & he won't miss the p.m. mtgs - Council mtgs, etc.
We finally got the Nelson round robin but no special news. Sig & Geo. will be at Roland's for their anniversary & Rol will be 40 the 24th of June in case you want to send a card.
Barb will go for her drivers licence next Tues. Be nice for her to have it in case of an emergency, etc. She had to get a permit, etc. as her Wisc. license had lapsed.
Fri. nite the Mets looked good. Sid was pitching like he used to & they were getting hits & beat Pitts. 7-1 despite 2 rain delays. We sat up til 11:30 when it was 4-0 so we don't know how late it was when it ended. And they could have won Fri. nite but the C.F.er dropped the ball. Maybe Frank Cashen should have been fired - he dealt away good players & they had to put infielders in the outfield. But I still "love" them. Just looked licence up in the dictionary & that is the 2nd choice of spelling so I won't put an s over the c.
P.S. Went to water a hanging planter on the front porch & a bird flew out & scared me. So we looked into it & there is a bird's nest with 5 eggs. So we will be able to watch as the babies come out - feeding, flying, etc. A small bird like the size of a sparrow. I also got my flowers planted on Tues. By the house & garage.
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.
