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!

Mom Letter ~~ Early 1980s
.jpg)
Hi Honey,
I hope you didn't stay too upset over the finance situation. No big problem, just poor planning on the college's part.
Make sure you get a receipt for this check.
It is so hot here again today. Dad was cutting the grass but he is going to take a shower and go to the post office in Petersburg to mail this. Let me know when you get it.
It seems like it's always something.
Well honey, there really isn't much news, so don't worry, everything is taken care of. Make sure you take the check over right away. Did Katherine contact her parents?
Be good and write.
Love,
Mom

Dear Shelby,
Received your letter on Tuesday. Glad to hear from you.
It is gloomy & dreary today. I am trying to clean.
The building maintenance electrician came a while ago to put a new switch on my hood over the stove. I use the light a lot. If I hadn't seen him & just heard him talk, I would have sworn it was your Dad. It turns out he was from Dinwiddie. He said he moved up here with AT&T & later retired from there.
Did you get all your trees planted? That must have been a job.
Your Mom said she wanted to come up soon but this week it is supposed to be rainy.
The tulips & hyacinths are blooming here.
I have been listening to the O.J. trial. It sure is interesting. He just sits there & smirks & rolls his eyes.
Did I tell you I had my car inspected last week? We have to have an emissions test & a sticker that says we had it plus all the other things they do for inspection. I did have the tires rotated.
Well hon, not much news here , so write when you can & love to Jack! Take care.
Love always,
Grandma

Hi Honey,
Got your letter today and wanted to tell you that Dad will be there on Friday after 1:00 to get you.
We planted 6 rose bushes last Sunday. I hope we don't get much more cold weather.
Well Honey, not much news but I'll be anxious to see you on Friday and to have you be home.
So be good.
Love,
Mom
