I'll get a note written to enclose in your card. It's a beautiful day & Kim is in a wedding this aft. Bob Moran's (Printz) daughter Betsy is getting married. Last Sun Kim, Lar & another couple hosted a couple's shower at their place.
Kim was one for a week for a session on how to deal with problem kids in school - she is on a Sheffield team that deals with problems. Said it was a good learning experience.
Dale enjoyed his week at Tappan, N.Y. to learn about the new sports car, the Viper. It took him 7 hrs. to get there, missed a turn & went over a bridge over the Hudson river - cost 2.50 but nothing on the return. Stayed at a Holiday In. Took a car from work - had 300.00 for food. Said things are expensive there. About 15 in the class - one from Oil City, Boston, etc. He enjoyed the week a lot. Said it is quite a car. Got a certificate & a patch showing he had training for the Viper. Last Mon I cleaned his room - moved what I could & got rid of all the dust & there was a lot. Dale changed the brushes on my vacuum cleaner & what a difference it made in the kitchen rug. Old ones all worn.
Barb & I have started Christmas shopping - lots of sales from now on.
Emma Johnson (across the street) was in Erie & they found she has cancer of the gall bladder & liver plus a heart condition. They've given her 6 months.
Dale was near New Jersey & crossed into it & didn't realize it. Asked a cop for help & he said what an accent he had. Also the one from Boston.
Eddie's picture is so cute. Now we're waiting for Andy's. Our darling grandchildren. Imagine you'll take them trick or treating. Barb said Marisa & Scott will come here - at least they want to.
Sonya Thelin Oliver had a baby girl Oct. 18th. Sarah Margaret.
Another week & Nov will be here & that brings us closer to your visit.
Time for a coffee break. See you all soon.
Enclosures:
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.
