For A Wonderful Aunt ~~ Warm Thanksgiving Wishes ~~ 1990s

 

Geraldine ~~ The 3rd Dog I Sponsored At The Southside SPCA ~~ September 2013

 

The Information about Geraldine:

"Geraldine is a Walker Hound about 9 years old and 50 lbs.  Judging by the scars on her face, her life has not been easy.  Being a senior dog and a hound, her adoption chances at the local animal control were slim, so there was no way we could leave her behind.  She is the sweetest girl.  Geraldine surprised everyone this week when she decided to join in on the Agility course.  Word is out:  the agility dogs get lots of treats!"

There was another one called Rhoda and another called Lady Gaga but I can''t find their photos!

Grandma Letter ~~ Postmarked November 5, 1988


She wrote:  

Dear Shelby,

Thanks for the nice letter.  Such pretty note paper!

I've had a very hectic week.  Flu shot, cholesterol count (255), tire had a nail in it, almost flat, changed anti-freeze, went to the market & got back & the elevator didn't work!!  Mrs. Wallace helped me carry the stuff upstairs.  Went to Kutztown yesteraday & the car started smelling hot & the "check engine" light came on and there was Ruth & me out on the highway, no house in sight & helpless.  A nice young fellow came along & said he was a mechanic & he would look to see what the trouble was.  Well, the anti-freeze overflow container (plastic) had a leak and it was spraying all over the motor.  He said we would get home okay.  This morning I went back to my mechanic and told him.  He is the garage fellow I always go to & he fixed it.  I hope!  So all in all I have been running around in circles.  

I don't know what I will do for Thanksgiving.  I assume if Donna makes a dinner I will be invited.

Harold had laser surgery on his eyes yesterday.  He has glaucoma.

I bet the puppies are darling.

I am sending you some coupons.  

Well, hon, I must close.  Let me hear from you when you hae the time.

Love always,
Grandma

Love to Jack!
