Time is flying by & soon the baby will be here & JoAnna will be happy to see her toes again!
Last weekend Sheila (does my hair) & the girl in the next apt. to her drove to Reedsburg, Wi. where Karen, the friend, had a job interview. Karen is from Duluth & been in Wrrn a year as city planner. I forget the name of the Co. but they have a branch in Madison. She will take the job & go from 17,000.00 to 25,000.00 & will be closer to home. A political science major. It was a fast trip - left here on Sat. at 1 pm & got home early Tues. A.M - 3 A.M. They visited the Mall in Madison. She'll start Dec. 10th.
After Thanksgiving I plan to wrap gifts & soon after that we'll send the pkg. Most of my shopping is done.
Dale took today off & tomorrow (Fri) too as he has to use up his vacation time. The weather is nice again - Indian summer. We've had some snow but it didn't last.
Tomorrow we might go to Cranberry Mall if Dad feels like it. In the Oil City area & we'll eat at Hoss'. They have a great salad bar.
We raked leaves & filled 5 bags. This year the city didn't collect the leaves as usual but people had to bag them & then they were collected. The leaf collector machine was broken & too expensive to fix. People didn't like it. Could get bags for 25 cents.
Bon Ton is busier than ever but Janick's isn't doing that well. Barb & I have gotten some good buys.
Talked to Gen last Sun. & Ed is having more troubles. Will see the Dr. soon & should have an operation. Millie is OK now & back to working.
I had my physical last week & all is good. My cholesterol is fine - as long as I take my medication & blood pressure good.
Not much happening here. Just wanted to write a note to go in Andy's card.
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.
