Dear Shelby,

Thanks for the nice letter.

Did you wish the snow & ice on us? It is really coming down. Snow, sleet, freezing rain & anything else they can find to throw at us. The wind is wicked. I went to the store yesterday (took Ruth) for milk, etc. because they predicted this. & you wouldn't believe the people. I guess they all had the same idea. Not a carton of milk in the store. We went to the Acme & found some.

I am sending you a recipe for apple cobbler. I suppose you can use any kind of fruit. It sounds good.

Donna gave me a beautiful dark green jogging suit. Did I tell you Amy brought me a container of chicken pot pie? It sure was good. She works after school up at the Phoebe Terrace as a waitress. It is like a condo. You can buy your apartment. Nicole is doing fine. I stopped by after church on Sunday to return the container & Amy was tutoring Nicole with her homework.

Your mom never received the jelly I ordered for her so I called & they are replacing it.

I want to see "Grumpy Old Men". I bet it is a riot.

My new area code is 610 instead of 215.

I have a cheese cake recipe I will send you went I get it copied. No use sending it to your Mom because your Dad won't eat it - not with cream cheese in it!

Well hon, I better close now, not much more news, so write when you can & thanks for all the lovely cards, gifts, etc. I enjoyed them all.

Take care.

Love always to you & Jack,

Grandma
