It is a windy, rainy evening. It is to turn colder & then that 4 letter work SNOW.
2 weeks & Thanksgiving will be about over. Have our turkey in the freezer.
I'm writing a note as I want to send the article of the enlarged K-Mart.
Holiday Market, upper Conewango Ave, was sold to Linda Dies & now it is a Dance Studio. Naturally a lot of remodeling went on. Many in that area miss the store & rumor has it the elder Mrs. Loringer would have bot it, if she had known, & kept it for a store.
Next Sun-Tues Lar will drive Mike Brindis's car to Philadelphia while Mike drives a U Haul truck. His folks died within a short time of each other & his sister wants some of the furniture. Mike lives in the family home.
Next week Lar & Kim will have an "addition" to the family. A dag, part Labrador part ? One of Bob & Claudia Thelin's dogs (they have 3, plus 2 cats) was in heat & one nite it kept Claudia awake so she let it out. It came home 3 days later & in time gave birth to 10 or 11 puppies. Claudia is trying to get rid of them so they chose a male & Lar named it Taurus (his birth), Tory for short. Another friend is taking one for her 4 girls.
This fall I got the Penney's catalog & have used it a lot - also the Sears catalog. We don't even get to Jamestown - hardly at all anyway. Last Sat Barb & I drove in as she wanted yarn for a sweater. She just finished one for herself & it's beautiful. Now she's making another one for herself.
Earlier today it was beautiful, up to 67, so I returned a book to the library & got more to read. Next Tues. I'm Circle leader but I have the lesson well in hand.
Katherine Peterson has been working part time for the counseling office - she went to the file for something & the bottom drawer stuck & then after a hard tug, it came opened & threw her on the floor. She was cut in the head & couldn't get up. No one heard her but after an hour, she was found. An ambulance was called & she ended up having 2 pins put in a broken hip. So she will be laid up for awhile & I bet she'll have to go to a nursing home while she heals as she can't be alone. Tough luck & she's had other health problems, too.
Oh Denise Johnson Winslow had her baby 3 months early. Another girl & the baby is up in Buffalo & I suppose will be there awhile. She had to have a Caesarian delivery - her blood pressure was very high & kidneys bad. She also had her tubes tied. Last Sun. 8th, he dad took her to Buffalo to see the baby.
Better end this.

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.
