A whimsical look at a lifetime of personal ephemera collected with no particular aim in mind except it was either too interesting, too funny, too sentimental or too pretty to part with! Welcome and enjoy!

Dear Shelby,
Received your nice letter & pictures. I just love that screened-in porch. You will certainly enjoy that!
I like the fans & fixtures too. The mirror will go very well in the bathroom. It is lovely.
I'm sure you are glad the plumbing is in.
There are two more Sundays to go on "Rich Man, Poor Man". It is in 5 segments. "A Woman of Substance" comes on at 1:00 and at 3:00 it's "Rich Man, Poor Man".
You will enjoy the blueberry bushes. Ruth freezes them & has them on her cereal in the winter. She gave me some a while back & I enjoyed them.
Do you have any idea where you will put the "Rose of Sharon" bushes? They bloom all summer.
I went to Dr. McConnell yesterday for my hearing check-up. It has gone down another notch. I used to have such good hearing. Old age will do it every time. He examined my throat & nose, etc. My throat & mouth are ok. I don't go back for another year!
Well hon, not much news here, so write when you have time & love to you & Jack! Take care!
Love always,
Grandma

Dear Shelby,
Received your nice letter.
It snowed & sleeted here over the weekend & is very dark & cloudy here today after more snow last night.
Ruth got home last Wednesday. She enjoyed her trip. Ray wants her to come stay a while with him in Tulsa. She is planning on going in May.
We went to see Paul Newman in "Nobody's Fool". It was good. We want to see Peter Falk in "Roommates" when it comes out. I'm watching "Dances With Wolves" this weekend.
I go to Dr. Shore tomorrow. Hope everything is ok.
I'm reading "Valley of Decision". It is very good. I've had it for years & just started reading it again.
Well, there really isn't any news here. If there was any news, Mrs. Wallace is keeping it to herself! I get all my news from her.
Take care of yourself & write when you can.
Love to you & Jack.
Love always,
Grandma
