It was good to talk to you & the boys. Andy was real talkative.
Today I was circle leader & no more turns for me til Fall. Then we had Barb's birthday dinner - a carrot cake was her choice. Now she is finding out her duties for the next week. She'll be there from Wed. to Wed. She packed her bag & took that over. Should be an interesting experience.
Dale Earnhardt was on the QVC buying channel & I succumbed & got an D. E. shirt for Dale & he likes it. We got him a denim jacket, light weight. I got it in Feb. on sale 25% off & not the brand name that is well known. He likes it. Barb picked out a jacket also 25% off. She bot slacks to match it so she has a nice outfit. So they both got jackets for their birthday. Kim & Dad & I are going together to get Lar a golf bag for his birthday.
They got a new refrigerator at the local Sears, which will be closing May 15th & they have appliances on sale. Got a good deal on it.
Levina Karlson fell & broke her arm & was in the hospital. She is very unsteady on her feet. She is failing.
Last Fall Katherine Peterson took a bad fall & is finally able to get out. She was at Circle today & is able to drive again. She walks with one of those 4 prong canes if that's the correct term. Her brother has finally convinced her to sell the house & get an apt. She has her name in the Warren Apt. by the library.
The Mon. after Easter we had planned to wash the living room walls but I didn't feel that good with my cold. But it will get done before June & company.
We've been going out for breakfast Wed A.M. We go to Peppermill as you get the most & best for your money.
In rereading the letter it sounds as if all we had for dinner was carrot cake. We had chicken.
Don Greendahl got one of those new drivers - they're suppose to help you hit the ball further out - so Dad sent for one thru some catalog he had. It hasn't come yet - he called & there was such a demand it is taking longer but it will be coming. They hope to play in May. Dad's going to have to feel better.
I tho't I had a lot to write about but guess not.
Watching the Mets. What else is new!
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.
