Grandma Letter ~~ Postmarked November 5, 1988

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!
