Mom Letter on The Harvester Motel Stationery ~~ Lincoln, NE ~~ Postmarked September 25th, 1978
She wrote:
"Dear Shelby,
Hope you are alright, and haven't run out of money.
We have had beautiful weather, except it got a little cool one night in So. Dakota. We are going to Hannibal, Missouri this morning to see all the Mark Twain things then to Springfield, IL, to see A. Lincoln's home.
We have taken lots of pictures and seen a lot of things. I am most taken with Mt. Rushmore.
We should be home about the latter part of this week. We'll call you then.
Be good.
Love, Mama & Daddy
P.S. The time changes are terrible for watching T.V."

Walden Book Store Receipt & Bag ~~ 1977
The 99 cent total cost and the small shopping bag tell me it was probably a paperback book purchase! When I came across it, the bag had a few skeins of embroidery thread in it and was in a trunk in my parents' outside utility room.

Waverly Ware Soup Mugs and Bowls Ad ~~ 1963
This ad for four Waverly Ware soup mugs or bowls was tucked inside one of my mother's older cookbooks. I don't know if she intended to save soup labels and send off for them or just needed a quick bookmark!
