A whimsical look at a lifetime of personal ephemera collected with no particular aim in mind except it was either too interesting, too funny, too sentimental or too pretty to part with! Welcome and enjoy!

Dear Shelby,
We're practically buried in snow! Besides the snow, we had 30 mph winds. There are drifts 4' to 5' high. It had the audacity to snow again last night after we had our cars shoveled out -- another $15. Now it is supposed to dump another pile on us by Friday. We haven't had any mail since Saturday & our paper missed Monday.
Becky went to the store yesterday & got Ruth a few things & me a 1/2 gallon of milk. If your car gets stuck you will be fined! Jersey & Pa turnpike was closed down for 2 days. We will all have cabin fever! It is bitter cold on top of all that. I guess your mom won't be up any time soon.
Even if you can get out, when you get where you are going -- there isn't any place to park.
I am reading "Remember" by Barbara Taylor Bradford. I just started it so I don't know how good it is.
I finished the puzzle & it was beautiful. I couldn't leave it alone once I started.
I was so carried away with out snow problem, I didn't ask if you had any? It seems it even hit the deep south. West Virginia got a pile of it, according to the news.
Well, I must get this in the mail slot, hoping she comes today, so let me hear from you. Love to you & Jack.
Love always,
Grandma

Dear Shelby,
How was your week? We really haven't done anything this week. It has been so cold.
I get to watch more of Merv by getting home before 5:00! Everything is so different out there. I went to classes on Wednesday.
The Super Bowl is on Sunday. I'm going for the Raiders. It should be a good game.
Well Honey, write when you can and be good.
Love,
Mom

Dear Shelby,
Thanks for the lovely Christmas gifts from you & Jack! The sweatshirt was lovely! Did you take any pictures of your tree?
It is certainly a nasty day outside. Yesterday it was bone chilling. I couldn't even get the car warm coming from church. Today we've had snow and freezing rain. It is supposed to do more tonight.
I am making Ruth's great granddaughter a sweater with a hood. It knits up easy. I also have a dress to shorten for Mrs. Wallace.
Did you watch the Carol Burnett Show? I laughed till I hurt. It was great!
I'm glad your Mom & Dad got home before all this bad weather even if it did rain all the way home.
Well honey, there isn't much news so let me hear from you & take care. Love to Jack!
Love always,
Grandma
