Dear Shelby,

Enjoyed your letter.  Thanks!  Did you get your culverts dug?  It is so hot here.  96F yesterday.  

Ruth and I went to Perkins yesterday.  We each got a salad.  They were half a cantaloupe witih chicken salad inside & all kinds of fresh fruit cut up around it.  The strawberries were enormous.  Plus a huge fresh blueberry muffin toasted.  I brought home half of the muffin and the cantaloupe.  I couldn't eat it all.  Ruth brought her cantaloupe home too.  They put it in a nice box.

I go to Dr. Jones on August 1st.  I will need new glasses.  

How about O.J. -- I couldn't go to bed Friday night until I saw what was happening.  I watched the ride on the highway.

I hope you are doing okay and not hurting yourself.  It's only been 3 months since your surgery.  

Your muffins sound good!

Well hon, not much news here so write when you can & take care of Jack.  I sent him a birthday card with a check.  

Love always,

Grandma

Found tucked inside Grandma's 1920s prayer book.  By her own admission, she had a huge crush on him at the time!

Dear Shelby,

Why haven't you wrote me yet?  You know what my teacher made me do today?  She made me write 100 sentences saying I must learn proper classroom behavior and write sentences until I do.  Doesn't that make you sick?  And she made me do it for nothing.  Isn't that awful?  I hate her.  She lets everyone write notes except me.  Well, please write me soon.

I miss you.  How's Katherine?  How are you?  

Well, everybody is okay here except Michelle didn't go to school today.  She had a sore throat and you couldn't hardly hear her talk.  

Well, so long,

Sue

P.S.  Write me as soon as you read this.
