Monday PM
Dear Carolyn,
Your
letter came on 16 tonight, began to think I wasn’t going to get any today. Also had one from Mrs. Glaser saying she
hoped something would happen that we could go to N.Y. with them Sun. Our passes came and are good on the better
trains – sniff sniff! They plan to stay
a week – Robert will take care of Dad’s work – Junior is in Notre Dame and they
play football in N.Y. The 29th
and they plan to see the game. “Ets” sister and hubby from W.D.C. will meet
them in N.Y. and go to game together.
Georgia
will likely come home for thanksgiving with Earl and Libbie – don’t you
think? K. said yesterday she thinks they
will try to come again this year. I hope
we can give E. a pleasant vacation – I hope it will be “swell.” (Earl wanted kids to get walnuts for them)
The
little square is very nice – and putting it together with angora would be
lovely – I like the idea better than a checker board pattern. It seems to me you’re making entirely too
many for the time you should have
to spare.
I
usually put a little lard in popcorn – butter has too much water in it. It doesn’t have to have anything, but adds a
little flavor. If you had butter to melt
and pour over it – that would be best – but suppose you haven’t any.
The
League kids plan to have a weenie roast and rally at Manchester tomorrow
evening, a bus from Bright will take the bunch over – Kay will stay here after
school.
Did you
see that our P.T.A. serve supper to a bunch of men Thurs. night? They expect over 100. We plan to go to Logan for supper at 5 PM and
get back in the time to help a little.
The Sr. girls are doing the serving.
Did all
laundry today and raked leaves this evening.
Trees aren’t very pretty this fall, it’s so dry they just ripen and fall
off in a ring under the trees. The air
has been so calm, if we would have a little breeze they would all be off in a
jiffy.
Why ask
me what to write to Libbie? If you’re
going to see them and stay any time – tell her your plans and ask very sweetly
if it would be too much trouble to have you.
Aunt K.
is having her teeth out, took five the first time. John T’s friend had to go home so it broke up
the Sat. night date. Beth, Leona and I
went to town – there was a show they wanted to see. We stopped for Amanda and she and I did some
shopping (window mostly) had a soda and
just sat in car and talked until girls came – a little after nine.
News is
sorta scarce – we all were so tired last night 0 it lasted over for today and
Dad has had a very busy day.
Tues. AM Looks like this fine weather will last forever but
of course it won’t. Everyone O.K. Hope
you are too.
I
wanted Dad to go to N.Y. with Bill F. Mrs. F. can’t leave the baby that long
and Bill doesn’t want to go alone but Dad said it took so much time for the
little while they would be there. Dr. G
plans to attend some other clinics while in the city. They have their vacation with pay – with
Robt. doing the work. He did it this
summer when his Dad went fishing too.
Do you
forget to tell us what you weigh or is it intentional? Answer me that!
Love,
Mother
p.s. Do you think E. will admire our wonderful paintings
etc? At least – I think my mayonnaise will be the best – Ha Ha!
