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,
I hope you enjoyed your trip over the weekend. I love the Williamsburg area.
I'm glad you are feeling better. I cough a lot but mine is from a constant draining of my sinuses.
Yes, Harold has had his share of problems. I must take him to the hospital at 1:00 today for eye therapy.
You mention you think of Donna's girls as in grade school. Do you know I always think of you as a girl. I just can't think of you as a grown woman. You are still just a little girl to me.
They are installing new elevators in both buildings - ours this week & the upper level next week. I'm glad I can use the third floor entrance to unload groceries. I never use the elevator except when I have packages.
That must have been a very bad storm. I'm afraid of that kind of violence because there is nothing you can do about it.
Do you have any flowers planted yet?
I was thinking I might come down the weekend after Labor Day.
Love always,
Grandma
Love to Jack.

Hi Honey,
What a crazy week I have had. Dad bought himself a new truck. It is really pretty, fully equipped (of course), blue & white. He (as you can imagine) was like a kid with a new toy. All week nothing got done, but buying the truck. We did get to the movies Easter Sunday, went to see "Porky's". Funny!
I am planning on going up to Grandma's next weekend, if nothing happens.
How are things coming there? Are you sending out resumes and following up on any information or prospects? You really don't have much longer.
Did Grandma tell you that Paul is very ill and in the hospital again?
Well Honey, not much news but write when you can and be good.
Love,
Mama
