Happy Anniversary!
Sat A.M. - Summer is finally here. Thurs. Barb had a D&C at the Dr. office and they must have a new method as it didn't take long & she walked home. It was just at the (repeating myself) Dr's office. He said she'd feel a prick & then cramping. They were also checking to see if there is cancer. She sees him again June 5th.
Fri. Barb (she didn't work Thurs or Fri) & I went to Mrs. Grimm's shop where she sells wreaths, floral designs, etc. Very interesting place & can she talk. Their son lives in the Philly area & has 2 children - boy & girl. Then we went to the Mall & I saw Mrs. Sandblade & I asked about Mary. Her oldest son graduates from Grove City with a teaching degree in Math. The daughter is a Jr. in nursing at Pitt & the youngest son graduates from high school.
Fri. Barb washed the porch, cleaned & bro't down the porch furniture. Washed & put up screens. T his A.M. she trimmed the edges around the lawn.
The hanging baskets are fushea (however you spell it) in a dark pink. Very pretty.
Dad & I sat on the porch awhile last nite.
This is the first nice Sat & there are loads of garage sales including one next door (new neighbors) by the Welcome club.
Keep forgetting to tell you we got rid of our piano. It was just a dust collector & no one used it. Kim's friend Nancy wanted a piano. She had a man check it out. He said it was in good condition & he could fix it to be a good piano. So he came & got it Thurs nite & will fix it up, tuning etc. & she'll have a good piano. She plays & some of her girls (4) take lessons.
Couldn't find another book by Richard North Patterson. I really enjoyed reading the one I had. Will keep looking.
The flowering crab trees are beautiful. Leaves on oak, maple, etc. are about now & will be as this weather keeps up for awhile. More humidity.
Guess this is all.
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.
