We are at Gen & Ed's now & their pool is no nice. Left last Wed. & spent Thurs. & Fri. with Edna & Wally. They have room air conditioner so it was pleasant inside. It was & continues to be HOT. At Gen's we have more breezes so it isn't too bad, plus the pool. They have flowers around the sidewalks by the pool. It is so pretty. We'll take pictures so you can see. We've also helped with weeding. Ed has been haying & that's a job.
Tues. nite Edna, Wally & Milly & Jerry will be here for supper. Thurs. we are going to cousin Larry's home for lunch & we'll see Debby & the baby, 1 yr. old. They bot a 200,000 home but homes are high here. She'll have lunch for the 4 of us girls. This was Millie's idea. Fri. we go home. Weather is suppose to break on Wed. Hopes it's true. (trip to Larry's about 1 1/2 hrs. near Boston.)
Today after lunch we went to Eastfield Mall & walked around. Saw a cute skirt on sale but it would have been hard to match with a blouse. On the way home we stopped at Marshall's & saw just the top for it, but it was too late. I don't need it anyway.
Noticed the "For Sale" sign on Barb's house was down & haven't seen the car there. Wondered if she took a trip to Boston to look things over. The job want ads take a couple of pages. Plenty of jobs for school kids, house wives & anyone who wants to work.
Kim finishes her job at the Y the end of July. No hope for a teaching job yet so she plans to work at Watt Office Supply. Will get medical coverage there.
Our Barb has babysat for Lauri twice now. Gone for 6 hrs so she got $12.00. She also got a call from the Employment office. The Elec. Co. needs cleaners for about 6 weeks the middle of Aug. so she had to fill out an application form. She hopes she gets it - 9.40 an hour & she has a good chance as she is a Vet. & a woman & they need a % of women. It's a little late for college students so I hope she has a chance.
They told Dale he's be out this coming Sat. & then they told him he'd need some counseling & it might be a month longer. And when he got his driver's license he could only drive to & from work. Naturally he was disappointed. Whatever it will soon be over.
We are enjoying ourselves. Won't be long now for JoAnna. Saw a pg. woman in church close to her time & felt for her in this terrible weather. We look forward to our visit. Time for a swim.
Oh yes after my blood test, the Dr. said my cholesterole (sp) was high & I should watch it & lose 10 lbs. I'm trying!
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.
