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.

Friday, January 23, 1998
I'm watching Senior Skins from Hawaii. What a beautiful place - people in shorts, etc. It's not that bad here but school was delayed 2 hrs. due to slushy & icy roads. Suppose to warm up in the 40's this aft.
Kim & Lar were here last nite & Lar said both Monty & Mike wondered if Barb would date them. No way. What Monty wants is someone to support him.
Lar & Kim will watch the Super Bowl game at Betsy Moran & her husband's home. Betsy is tempoprary director of the Y.M. - they are interviewing now & then her Mom had a back operation so Betsy has been extra busy & concerned. The friends will bring the food. They have a new 36" T.V. Lar & Kim have T.V. at Camp & enjoy it. They've spent a few weekends there. Overnite Sat.
How was your weekend. It wasn't as cold was it.

Wheel of Fortune celebrated Super Bowl week & had players & their favorite football player so it's been interesting to watch. I did a jigsaw puzzle last week & plan to do one rather than start one this weekend. Like to do something while watching T.V. Dad & I don't always agree on programs so I sit in the kitchen, watch T.V. & play Solitaire.
I'm trying to make out daily menus to make getting needed groceries easier but it is a difficult job.
Heard from both Gen & Millie today.
Barb & I started out to the Mall but the van stalled in front of Pelligrino's home. We walked home - called Dale & he came & got it home. Said it is the fuel pump. Lar was here this aft. working on wiring. Put micro on its own circuit breaker. He still has a little more to do on other things - our Christmas gift at my suggestion. So Torey was here & Kim stopped to pick him up & had a cup of coffee.
