I have a little time before church so I'll start a letter. Thanks for the post cards. Glad you had a good trip home.
The house has seemed so empty - we really miss Andy & Eddie & have pleasant memories of their visit here. We hope it can happen again.
This past week Dad has awakened with headaches - they gradually disappear. We'll have to contact the Dr & see if he can help him.
Tell the boys that Scott fell & has a fracture in his wrist. They didn't put a cast on it but something else & he doesn't like it & tries to remove it. They didn't realize it at first & it wasn't until the next day that Lynn took him to the Dr.
Barb doesn't have to work on Wed so we're going to Jamestown. She'll look for yarn & we'll have lunch at Red Lobster.
One A.M. it was cool enough to bake & I made the boys' (one of the favorites) favorite cookies & they aren't here to share them.
This aft. we might to go see Kim's & Lar's house as he has started to partition off the rooms so you can get an idea of how it will be. He took a couple of vacation days this past week. One aft. Kim weeded by the side of the house & got that looking nice.
Am enclosing a clipping of 2 old houses. The one on the left, Sheila said, her sister had hoped to buy, restore & use it as a bed & breakfast. She & her husband (Sheila's sister) restored an old Victorian house but he doesn't want strangers sleeping in it or she would use that for a B&B.
Soon time to leave & not much news.
We loved having you all home, even for a short visit.
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.
