Letter From Grandma ~~ May 1993


She writes:

Dear Shelby,

Thanks for the nice letter.

I love the drawing of the house.  I know it will be beautiful.  It looks like a real country home.  I can just picture it with trees all around & lots of shade.

I just called Ruth & she said Harold seems better today.  Dr. Shore thought he was a goner two weeks ago.  He has an enlarged liver & it has cysts all over it.  His kidneys are the same.  It is his kidneys that are causing the trouble just now.  They are getting worse & he is still bleeding inwardly.  The nurse comes 2 times a week.  Their son Ray was home for a few days last week.  He lives in Oklahoma.  Tulsa, to be exact.

Rhubarb is a very tart long stalk about 12" to 15" long.  It grows in a bush.  It has big leaves that are poisonous.  The stalk, cooked with strawberries makes a great pie.  I remember when I was small, eating rhubarb for a spring tonic, like sulphur & molasses.  

Did you get many strawberries from the farm?

I hope you are careful of ticks & poison ivy when you are cleaning out the brush.

Well hon, snce there really isn't any news at this end, I'll close and hope I hear from you soon.  Take care.

Love Always,

Grandma

Love to Jack!  How do you like this card?
