Ocean City, New Jersey Postcard ~~ Postmarked July 30, 1979
Grandma sent me this postcard when she went with a neighbor family to Ocean City, NJ for a week.
She wrote:
This is not like Atlantic City but I'm enjoying it. I can't walk the boardwalk much though - get pain in my chest. So tonight they went up & I just went for postcards & came back. Write me at home.
Love,
Grandma

Grandma Letter ~~ Postmarked February 26, 1991
She wrote:
Dear Shelby & Jack,
Thanks for the lovely flowers & cards.
I am able to get around quite well although I get tired quickly. Ruth & Harold had a doctor appointment yesterday & he told them I had been a very sick lady for a few days.
I am anxious to get my car out & go for a drive. That is not allowed for 3 weeks.
Everyone on the floor has offered all kinds of help.
The nurse was here yesterday and she said as long as I was able & didn't get too tired I could do minor things. It would help me get my strength back. I am taking 6 kinds of pills.
Ruth has been to the store 3 times for me.
I am anxious to wash my hair!
Well sweetie, not much to tell here, so write me when you can. It's supposed to snow tonight!
Love Always,
Grandma
My last stamp! I told Ruth to get me some!
