It's a dark, dreary morning. Rain is expected & then cooler weather for while I'm thankful. Can start planning Fall meals. 6 AM temp 70, 9 AM temp 65.
I hope to mail Andy's pkg on Wed - to the library.
Kim is back to school. She has a few complaints. Her Health classes are large - 38 & 35 kids 8th graders who could care less & Denny Johnson only has 6 in his health class. She said she's trying not to let things get to her. Easier said than done. I say the same concerning Dad & then something gets to me - patience, patience!
Last Mon. we went to the Mall & grocery shopping in the A.M. seeing Dale was here. I got a basic, collarless blouse that could be worn under a suit for 5.99. Pink. Had been 18.00 At the shoe store, Herberts, I got a pair of navy flats as my present ones are getting shabby but still good for around the house. Barb got a pair of walking shoes.
Dale has the El Camino about completed. Seats in, doors & windows finished. He put a new rug in it. Looks nice. It took longer so he hasn't got the Blazer here but hopes to today.
Yesterday Kim & Lar ended summer by having a group of friends over. It was a nice day but very hot & humid.
Yesterday Barb went to Jamestown to do a few errands. They are working on the road & she took a wrong turn & was lost for about an hour. Followed the wrong detour sign.
Dale is a coffee drinker. Between Dale & me, I make 3 pots a day.
Just folded sheets I'd washed. Was going to say I make Dale's bed up clean on Mon. & he makes it the rest of the week. But he fooled me and made it today so he'll have clean sheets on Tues.
Fall has arrived - lots of football Sun. Pittsburgh won so Dale was happy; Barb was disappointed as Buffalo lost but it was close & exciting. Watching the 1st part of the Steeler's game I wondered if they could win, but they improved. Flutie did OK for Buff. And you folks are happy - Green Bay won. I was unhappy - Mets lost but they beat Maddux & Glavine in the first 2 games.
Dale plans to wax the El Camino & he hopes the weather clears up as he doesn't want to take it to the other garage in this "crappy" weather.
I've filled 2 pages of what happens here & we send our love to 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.
