Grandma Letter ~~ Postmarked June 2, 1992

Dear Shelby,

Received your nice letter, and am always glad to hear from you.

Mrs. Wallace's niece came by yesterday & got her mail.  I collect it daily and we talked a bit.  She is her only close relative.  I went with her up to the hospital (just 4 blocks away).  She still hasn't had any food yet.  She is a miserable patient.  She really gives the nurses a rough time.  Her niece is going to Burmuda on Saturday.  It is their 40th wedding anniversary.  Mrs. Wallace doesn't know that yet though.  She is arranging for a nurse to be with her if she goes home while she is away.  She will be a handful because she will not take orders.

Ruth asked me to send you this article.  She thought maybe you "had a lot of spare time" & would like to try it.  Just joking, of course!

I think I told you that one of the ladies on the floor asked me to crochet her an afghan.  I only have 4 more rows to do.  Your mom wants me to make her one too.

We have cantaloupes on sale here but they look awfull.  They are asking 99 cents each.

I just cooked some squash.  It smells good.

Well hon, I better close and get going.  I should write a check for my car insurance but rebel when I look at the amount.

Take care & write soon.  

Love,
Grandma

Love to Jack!
