Thanks for your letter that arrived today. Dad has had a bad day so far. His head hurts - he hasn't gotten dressed yet & it's 3 pm.
I'm enclosing some newspaper articles that might interest you.
Barb came home & we went & got groceries. Now we're waiting for pizza to come from Domino's. Sat A.M. we'll go to the Mall - both Penney's & Bon Ton have 25% off & this time it's on everything you buy on 1 day not just 1 item.
Baseball is back but not the fans - but this one is watching on T.V. Wed. nite the Mets opened at Colorado & what a game even tho "My Mets" lost. (Thurs also but they made a good showing.) Wed. was a 14 inning game & I stayed up to the end - close to 12:30 E.D.T. I've also watched some of the Yankees game on Wed. as well as the Braves. Mets are on tonite.
It was a shock to hear about Larry & Sherry's break up. That is so sad. It makes me very happy that both you & Larry have solid marriages. Both of you chose wonderful mates.
Now it's Mon. nite & I'll try to finish this so I can mail it tomorrow.
Today I housecleaned the dining room. Took all the dishes, glasses out & washed the ones I use very seldom. Washed walls, etc. So now that is nice & clean. Also set Danish rolls & a batch of cookies to bake tomorrow. And I ironed for an hour so I had a busy day & tomorrow I'll take it easy.
Sun. 10 young people were confirmed. 6 boys & 4 girls. It was a nice service.
Tonite was the L.C.W. Mother-Daughter Banquet at church but I don't go anymore. I still go to L.C.W. meetings - at least some of them.
Marisa had a birthday on Sat. last & had a slumber party & told Barb she could come but Barb wasn't interested. She had a gift for her & I baked cookies for her. A new recipe & Marisa liked them.
After watching baseball & the poor umpiring, I was glad to hear they settled their strike & will be back on Wed.
Milwaukee is off to a good start. Will you be taking in a game later on in the season.
Meant to call last nite -- first we watched "Jessica" & then went to E.S.P.N. for baseball so by the time we remembered it was too late.
I might invest in the video "Forrest Gump:. We've heard good reports about the movie "While You Were Sleeping". Sounds like one I'd like to see.
Sounds like May will really be a busy one for Paul & June will be busy for JoAnna. That makes the days fly by. Nothing special to write about.
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.
