I'm watching Penn St.-Notre Dame & it's tied. Cold weather & snow but it's suppose to warm up the 1st of the week. They poured the cement for the Pa. Ave. bridge & now it's curing for 2 weeks & they're finishing the work around the bridge. Should be opened by Dec. 7th & that should ease traffic on 3rd Ave.
I meant to cut out an article concerning how to address an env. when the wife keeps her name. Said the correct way is "Mr & Mrs." so that's the reason for the change.
Congratulations, JoAnna, on your promotion. W hat does it mean besides an increase in salary? We're happy for you.
It was good to hear Andy "talk". I'm sure we'd see a lot of changes in him. I'm taking Alison home again after I have my hair done. She has changed so much - loves to come now & we have a good time together. She will be 2 Dec. 1st.
We'll be 6 for Thanksgiving & will have turkey & trimmings. We'll eat later in the aft.
Kim was here while Lar shoveled the walks & we had coffee & talk. She was sick last Mon. & missed work. Flu is going around.
I wrapped gifts & have my shopping almost completed. We'll send your box after Thanksgiving & we'll send it to the library. Ne peeking!
Marie Mathis makes the nicest stockings to hang by the fireplace & I got 3 & they aren't wrapped as you'll want them up (I hope so, Paul!)
I'm making vegetable soup & it smells so good.
Dad doesn't have to preach tomorrow but he has a funeral at 4 pm. Doris Erickson (Mrs. Creed) died. She was 86. They wanted Dad & Gary didn't mind.
Joyce & I are still walking. Not today but we did yesterday in the snow.
Just the usual happening with us. Dad has an ear problem & will see the ear Dr. on Wed. I was to have q check up with Fino last Wed. & it was cancelled. Now I have one for Jan. 11. Cancellations happen a lot with Fino.
We all send our greetings & love.
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.
