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,
Always glad to receive your letters. Thanks!
I do feel better lately. My walking is so much better. If I could only get back a few of the pounds I lost.
I didn't know Nicole would be on tv until I saw an article in the paper that morning saying the program would show a half hour segment.
Ruth says it was one of the nicest trips she has taken. It was all on the back roads and away from all the tourists. She went with her cousin. I'm a little leery about going anywhere just yet. We did go to Reading a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to put some miles on my car.
You should have received your tablecloth by now. They are always very prompt.
The Farmer's Market is closed this week & next due to the Fair.
Is your new Rose of Sharon doing anything?
I hope your chili was good . I love it!
Well, I better get this in the mail and get to the Giant store if I want to eat next week! Take care and let me hear from you.
Love always,
Grandma
Love to Jack!

Dear Shelby,
Thanks for the nice letter. I hope you are both doing ok!
Yes, our church is a nice sized church. There is a membership of 1200 families. There are 6 masses on Saturday & Sunday with 3 priests.
I didn't get my proofs yet. I sure hope they are good.
I'm glad you liked your pictures. I did the towel burgundy instead of blue for the girl. I probably should have made it pink.
Ruth's son is home for a visit. He lives in Oklahoma (Tulsa). He brought his dog. When I saw him (the dog), I said "Rosie"!! His name is Arthur. He ran over & kissed me and got in my lap. Ruth couldn't believe it. He looks exactly like Rosie. He was dropped off at Ray's and he just adopted him.
Well hon, let me hear from you when you have time.
Love always,
Grandma
Love to Jack!
