Chicago won - I should have had a bet with Dale!
We're sitting in front of a nice fire & I've written 2 letters. Also made a batch of cookies & gave some to Lar as he was here to shovel 2 walks.
Imagine you got off OK - it was foggy driving home until we got to Corry. We were glad to get home safe & sound. Heard this A.M. that Milwaukee has a lot of snow. We woke up to about 3" inches of snow & more during the A.M.
Because of the early game we decided not to eat out but will cook steaks. Football comes first!
We took the tree down Sat. & cleaned a bit. But I wanted to go to J.town & we went for lunch. Looked around & got some Christmas wrap for 50% off.
When I washed Sat. & took dirty clothes from the hamper I found 2 pr. of your socks. Don't know how they got there. I'll send them when Dale gets your batteries so it might be 2 weeks or so.
Just talked to Signe & Geo. Geo is in a nursing home (as long as Medicare will allow) as he gets therapy there. Is feeling pretty good. Talked to Sig first & she gave us Geo. telephone no. Sig has a bad cold & some flu so she was in bed.
Irma Thelin has a bridal shop so plan to talk to her about dresses. Maybe she can find one for me.
Geo. said when Roland got home after the holidays there was 5 ft. of snow in their yard.
It was so nice having you & JoAnna home. We are so pleased with your choice of JoAnna. We like her so much.
I'm enclosing pictures of the fire. It will take a while for final decision as to what they'll do - tear it down or whatever.
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.
