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.

Have a great trip & enjoy the warm weather.
Had circle at church this aft & on the way home noticed that Conaway's old house is up for sale again. The people haven't been here 2 years yet. A surprise.
Holder's house has been sold but I don't know who bo't it. They got ride of a pile of junk. Guess Betty Jean wasn't a good housekeeper.
Keep forgetting to ask if Albert's Cindy is expecting yet.
The kitchen floor is going to be so nice. Right now things are a mess as Lar can only work a few hours at a time. But it will be well worth the upset. It's a lighter floor & will make the room look lighter. Now I want to get rid of the yellow wall paper on 2 sides of the kitchen. Maybe a beige color with a touch of peach. That will mean moving things again. Have more cards to write.
