Dear Shelby,

Received your beautiful card yesterday.  Always glad to hear from you.

You seem to be making headway on your tree planting.

Do you buy much fruit when you go to the Berry Farm?

I think Kato Kaelin is playing the audience for all he can get out of it.  He looks dirty to me.  There will be lots of arguing now that they are on to the blood exam.  The defense knows that is their week spot!  They will claim anything they think they can get away with.  I can't stand that Johnnie Cochran.

I went to the dentist yesterday for my 6 month checkup.  He cleaned them.

I have started buying strawberries & cantaloups.  I love them.

Well hon, not much news here, so write when you can & love to Jack!  Take care.

Love always,

Grandma

We just had a fire drill.  We all have to go out to the stairway until it stops "clanging".

Did you remember to change your address on your driver's license & registration?  

Hope you had a nice day to move.  We have had rainy, cool, damp & altogether unpleasant weather this week.

I'm glad you like my new address stickers.  I had run out & didn't know where to get any until I saw it in the Sunday paper.

Dr. Shore didn't say exactly why my legs acted up -- but he did say I didn't have very good circulation in my legs & that was one reason & that was caused by my bad heart.  I also have a bit of arthritis in both knees & ankles -- so that always helps!  Driving doesn't seem to bother me as I am sitting down.  I get where I'm going, like to the grocery store etc, & when I get tired I just stop a minute & it goes away.

I bought a mango the other day.  It has been so long since I had one.  They are so good!

I bought at Wal-Mart, a box of film.  I have it on hand so if I get down there I'll have them ready.

Well hon, good luck on your moving - hope it goes well.  Take care & don't overdo it.  Love to Jack.

Love Always,

Grandma
