Dear Shelby,

Glad to hear from you.  I like the stamp!

It has been rainy & damp here.  Today is nice.  I went down to the library & renewed my card & then out to Parkland to renew that one.  I got 'Savannah" by Eugenia Price.  It is the first in a trilogy.

At the Parkland library they have a little room with books in it for sale.  I bought Danielle Steele's "Remembrance" & Catherine Cookson's "Black Velvet Gown".  Her books are always good!  For a quarter!  Hardbacks at that.

Ruth is over her cold.  She sure was sick.

Your Mom said your Dad was going to help string barbed wire.  Hope they don't get cut.

I just washed all my summer tops & blouses to put away.

Wednesday I am going up in the mountains for lunch.  The Phoebe Home has a bus & they can take 24 so I sighed up.  Ruth says it is a nice trip.  Only $2.50 & you buy what you want to eat.  They are well known around here for their desserts!

I must go & see about my hearing.  It is not so hot & getting worse.  I don't have any trouble talking to people.  I can't make out all they say on tv & at church.  Certain tones are hard for me.  

Well hon, not much news at this end either. 

I talked to Amy, Donna's girl that goes to St. Joseph's in Philly, and she will be a senior next year.  It is hard to believe.

Write soon & take care,

Love always,

Grandma

Love to Jack!
