We had a thunder storm this aft. & it rained heavily. Barb got home just in time from a bike ride. But the bad thing it affected the T.V. - no T.V. & I bet the football fans are furious. It's close to 6:30 so it's been off a few hours.
Barb just called Kim & they don't have any power & don't know when it will be back. A mini tornado o W. 5th - trees & wires down. At least we have power.
We all received Andy's thank you cards.
I hope Eddie would like those tearaway pants as I saw a pair at Penney's & got them. I also got him a legos helicopter set he said he'd like when he was here in Aug. Plan to get him a top also. (Shirt.)
Kim paid - interruption. Barb said T.V. is back on - the last payment on the camp & as a celebration they went out to dinner at Nickel Inn last nite. Pittsburgh is ahead of Seattle 13-10 with 3 1/2 min. left. Hope they can win for a change. They did!
The Mets didn't do so well in their final games - in fact they were awful.
I'd like to see Houston play in the World Series. Time will tell.
Tomorrow after work Dale goes to Rochester for a Tues. session. He doesn't want to go as he has a lot of work on hand & after work he wants to work on the Blazer. He's anxious to get it painted. He's hoping they'll say he won't have to go. What I don't like - it's another Mon. nite & because Dale has the trip, Barb & I can't get to the Mall & the grocery store. I look forward to getting out.
Since Fri. I've read 3 books. 2 were short one. The last The Potter's Niece by Rona Randall was my favorite. English novel. Later setting - after the Puritans left England & settled here. I enjoyed it & I didn't do much but read - only the necessities. Took place in England but some characters had been to "the colonies"
Mon aft.
Your letter arrived today - thanks for the pictures. Your living-dining room area looks so nice. The new area looks like a good place to read a book. Enjoyed reading about the boys in your letter.
Finally it has cooled off. Sept. has been such a warm month - not even cooling off overnite.
Tomorrow I see the Dr. for a checkup. It's suppose to be a nice day so I can walk home & stop at C.V.S. & the bank. Will cash a check for Oct. monthly expenses.
How did your fund raiser for Jon go. Can't remember the last name & the letter isn't close by.
This A.M. Barb went shopping at the Mall. S he got a navy Fall jacket at BonTon. 40% off. It is nice looking & a good buy. Has a zip out lining, also.
My favorite "soap" in on T.V. & I'm not writing but watching so will sign off with all our love.
P.S. I found a baseball that must be Andy's. An M on it - must be for Michigan. Will keep it safe.
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.
