Happy Anniversary, Paul & JoAnna. We love you both and we are hoping your are part of us.
I'm taking the easy way out & sending money as a gift. JoAnna mentioned once she'd like a picnic basket or perhaps there is something else you've thot of in the meantime. Or you could put it toward dinner out. Enjoy!
We received your letter today & we always love receiving them.
It rained this A.M. but by the time I was finished with a shampoo & set, the sky was blue & the sun out. Stopped at the bank to cash a check & returned a book to the library & got 5 more. "Love's Music, Loves to Dance" by Mary Higgins Clark & one by her daughter Carol Higgins Clark. Her first novel "Decked". Started to read "Decked" & am enjoying it.
Barbara cleaned the porch last Sat. & put the chairs out, but I haven't sat out there yet. Weather too unpredictable.
Been lazy & haven't kept up on the treadmill but have walked more outside. Next week I hope to clean our bedroom.
I got a new waffle iron & we enjoy these waffles more than frozen ones from the store.
Barb just came home so we're going to the Mall.
Now it's 2:15 p.m. Saturday & I'm cleaned up to over to church to say hello to Mrs. Margaret Smith. (Kathleen Rossey's mother) on her 90th birthday.
This A.M. we went to Hatch Patch & I got pansies, petunias & allysum (however you spell it) & after I washed pots, I planted 8 pots for by the side of the garage & I still want some geraniums. It's a lovely day. Barb is planting petunias in the backyard. We're going to look at a trimmer to make it easier for ourselves - an elec. one.
Lar & Kim had a bet -- according to Lar; Kim said no -- they would start work on the house the week of May 14th & Lar lost. So he owes Kim a week out of dinner but she'll take 1 a week. Now the starting point is May 24th.
Ruth called to tell us Gen S. is in the hospital due to continuous seizures. A new Dr. thinks it is due to emotions. She said Lila is so tired out. Stella has been home for several weeks. We heard from her & the new problem was stomach trouble & she's being treated for that. Can't find the letter for the exact problem name.
Better sign off for now.

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.
