Happy Halloween 2021!
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,
Received your nice letter & am always glad to hear from you.
After a very bleak weekend, it is a nice day today. It missed a good chance to snow on Sunday.
Your Mom was going to come up last Sunday & go back on Monday but decided not to.
You say you would like an afghan. I have several nice books & you can look in the craft shops or any where they sell them but don't buy anything until you check with me. I might already have one like it. I'll bring mine down when I come.
Mrs. Wallace brought me two doughnuts Sunday. They had a bake sale at St. Catherine's & she got some. St. Catherine's is a cathedral church, very large. I don't go there because it is too big. It is only 2 blocks away.
Harold has to go to see if he has to have an eye operation. I get the date mixed up. His sight seems to deteriorate.
I had a urinalysis & some blood work done a couple of weeks ago. I went to the doctor yesterday for the result. It seems I have a slight bladder infection but my cholesterol is down, my potassium is fine, blood sugar excellent, in all it turned out pretty good for a nearly 79 year old lady. He took an electrocardiogram and it turned out good. He is changing my heart medicine. It will take a few days so I have to taper off one kind & start on another. The Inderol I take is dangerous if withdrawn suddenly.
Well hon, I must get ready to go out so let me hear from you & take care.
Love always,
Grandma
Love to Jack.

Dear Shelby,
Hope you had a nice weekend. Dad and I didn't really do anything. It rained Saturday and until about noon on Sunday. We just went to get groceries and then stayed here to watch the World Series.
Grandma called yesterday morning. She was going to Vanity Fair and wanted to check on colors and sizes before she went.
What do you want us to do about coming up Saturday for Octoberfest?
The Village Barn has a big sale this week. I would like to try to get down there to see about tables for the living room.
How is school coming? Well Honey, be good and write soon.
Love,
Mama
P.S. Have you read the book "Merv"?
