Dad went to Jamestown to get shocks for the car at Sears. Later we plan to go to Erie - we'll use our fine dining card. It's a cool day - want to walk to the library but it looks cloudy. Just finished Jan Webster's trilogy - theme Scotland. Really enjoyed them. Collier's Row, Saturday City, and Beggarman's County.
You'll never guess. Larry lost his wedding ring last Fri. while working at Conaway's. What a coincidence - he's following in your tracks, Paul. Kim wondered who wore the ring the longest.
We got our pictures & they came out good. Also saw the ones the photographer took & they came out excellent. Also saw the V.C.R. film. We'll be anxious to see yours.
They enjoyed their trip to Toronto but came back on Thurs. Had seen all they wanted to. Stayed Wed. nite at Niagara Falls. This week Kim is house sitting. She said yes a year ago before plans were made & Lar didn't mind.
Kim's cousin Chris can't have an operation because the blood vessels are too delicate. The Dr. said she could have another stroke at any time. Isn't that sad.
Next Mon. strawberry picking for the public starts at Hatch Patch. First they have them on sale & yesterday Dad bot a qt. on the way home from golfing. They are so good.
I'm enclosing a newspaper clipping. You might have had him for a teacher.
Mr. Carey asked when Dale will be home - he has some cars that need work & he wants Dale to do it. It will be the middle of July for sure but I keep hoping it could be June. At least it's almost over.
Went shopping at Bon Ton & got a pretty blouse & skirt on sale. And I had said "I'll just look" - famous last words.
Guess I'll walk to the library.
Almost forgot. Perkins reopened last Sat. & we went for breakfast. It is beautiful - too bad it wasn't completed earlier, so you could see it. Gutted & completely done over. Green & beige this time. Tasteful decorations & all. Hard to describe. As we were leaving, Mrs. P. came in & we talked. She was glad to see both of you.
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.
