Soon time to get lunch but I'll get a start on a letter.
It's raining today. Thurs. temp was 57. A cold weekend & then a warm up on Mon.
I addressed Christmas cards this A.M. Now the hard part - notes on most of the cards I send.
Barb is still working on the porch. The old rug came off & that part needed work done before the new rug is laid down. So it was up to Barb to do it. Scrape & paint.
This past week Barb met with Liz Williams & where she'll babysit 2 dogs & housesit. On Yankee Bush Rd. She enjoyed the visit. Liz has traveled a lot, was in Italy & lived in Mexico & learned the language.
JoAnna - bring your Bon Ton charge card & maybe you'll find some bargains. Sales are starting early - lots of sales advertised - even thru Penney's catalog.
The Birthday Box hasn't been mailed yet. Barb said she'd do it & I hope it will be soon.
Our mailman wen t to another route - one with not so many hills. After several subs we now have a new regular "mail person" a woman. We miss the previous mailman but we'll like this one just as much. Her name is Nancy & just as friendly s we're happy.
Later in the day.
Just got Dad off to bed. Just like a child - dress & undress him, use Depends, clean him etc. Lots of fun, but sad.
We got to the Mall for "5 minutes" & I managed to get a few things. Got a larger pan for potatoes for when we're all together. It's a nice one - on sale plus 10% off. Then to County for groceries.
Wed. I ate chili & it must have bothered me as Wed. nite I didn't feel good. But later in the day on Thurs. all was well. Gas pains.
Did you read in the T M. about the robbery at the bank at the Mall. Such excitement.
What are your Thanksgiving plans. Will JoAnna's parents be down. We'll eat about 4 pm,. Have a 12 lb turkey . Have a 23 lb. in the freezer for when you're here.
Will end here. Soon bedtime & I want to mail this Sat A.M. Love to you 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.
