It was so nice having you here with us but I know you're glad to be back to your regular schedule & your home.
Mon. was a beautiful day - I wash & hung sheets outside. After we cleaned up we rode to Jamestown U& had pancakes at Perkins. Went for a walk when we got home.
Lar & Kim stopped by in the A.M. They had to collect the baskets at church & they said good by as they hoped to get off soon. The gift from Braders was a wooden condiment set - they said it is so nice. We hope to see their gifts when they get back. Later on Mr. Carey stopped by with a gift from his mother. An envelope with money.
Last nite I set Danish pastry & this A.M. I bro't some over to the girls at school for the last time. It is a cloudy day & by noon it was raining. But I got over town & to the library. Got a pair of low heeled beige sandals & they are comfortable. Looked at skirts & tops but didn't find anything I liked.
Later we go to Ridgway but don't think we'll play miniature golf unless it didn't rain there. Dad got an early start at the golf course but it was showery, or rather misty & not that nice for playing. He met Dan Greendahl & played with him.
Yesterday was a nice day for tanning & Barb was on the porch.
The Mets weren't on T.V. so we watched Atlanta wallop St. Louis. The Mets won!
We put the ivy on the porch for the summer.
Kim had a couple of things for the baby & in the excitement forgot to bring them over. We'll bring them in Sept. The plans for the get together went awry.
Fri. & Sat. we'll be at Thiel for the Synod meeting & that should be interesting to see who gets to be Bishop & who'll be disappointed. The week will go fast with that to look forward to.
It was great having you home & we look forward to Sept.
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.
