Mom Letter ~~ Postmarked April 25, 1980

 

Dear Shelby,

Here we are at the weekend again.  It isn't going to be much longer before you come home for a few weeks.

We had a bad storm last night.  It started just immediately after I got in the house.  I'm glad it didn't start before that because it was really raining very hard.

Everything here is about the same.  I bought some tomato plants at lunch time yesterday.  If if isn't too wet out this evening I hope to get them planted.

Did I tell you Dad and I are going to Grandma's next Friday?  We're looking forward to it.

Well honey, I must get everything done before leaving this morning so take care and be good.

Love,

Mama

Dear Shelby,

Received your nice letter!  Thanks!  I am glad your house is finished.  It won't be long till you can move!  What a job.

I hope your camera gets into operation again.  I want to see the finished product.

I went to Dr. Shore last week & I was concerned about my legs.  I just can't walk like I used to.  They get so tired.  He said that he had treated hundreds of women & "Believe me, you are way ahead of the game."  I evidently am in fairly good shape.  I went to Wal Mart yesterday, & a couple other stores & I was so tired when I got home & just got on the couch & slept for 2 hours.

They had "Sleepless in Seattle" last night upstairs but I had seen it in the movies.  Yes, they made a sequel to "Grumpy Old Men" called "Grumpier Old Men".  I really enjoyed them both!

I am glad you can get those channels.  I am on cable but my tv doesn't get all the channels.  Ruth's gets more than I do.  My set is older & is not set up to receive all of them.   I would love to get AMC & Discovery channel but can't.  I enjoy Family Channel. They have some good movies.  I like National Geographic.  They are always good.  Anything about animals I enjoy.

It has turned warm here.  I have both windows open.

Well hon, not much news here, so write when you can and have the time.  Take care.  

Love always,

Grandma

P.S.  Love to Jack!
