Grandma Letter ~~ Postmarked August 5, 1997

 

She wrote;

Dear shelby,

Thanks for the nice letter.  I love your design at the top.

Yes, Ruth enjoyed her trip to Nashville.  She bought me a Hank Williams tape.

Your lasagne sounds good.  I don't have the recipe for that.

I went to Dr. Shore yesterday and he had me have a hip x-ray.  It has been bothering me for a while.  He said he thought I was doing fine!  He said, "Remember your age.".  I have lost 6 lbs.  That is due to the extra diuretic pill I have been taking to take away the swelling in my legs and ankles.  6 lbs of water is a lot!

Today is our lunch day (see menu). 

Your mom loved the lettering on your birthday cake. (Calling her a girl!)

Our weather is great just now.  It is supposed to go into the 40s tonight.  In the low 70s today.  Can't beat that!

Well hon, not much news here so write when you can.  Take care!

Love always,

Grandma

Love to Jack

Grandma Letter To Mom ~~ Postmarked August 21, 1972

 

She wriote:

Dear Joan,

Received your letter yesterday and was glad to hear from you.  

I will be glad when you get Shelby to that doctor.  I truely hope, if there's anything wrong, he can find it.  Let me know as soon as you hear anything.

I went over to Lillian's for the day& we went to Talbots ~~ but the sizes are so varied I was afraid to get anything for you.  I got a black sleeveless top with white binding on the arm holes & neck. It is not a long top - about regular shell length.  I also got a white "A" line skirt but it is not gored & is made full.  I tried on a top like your blue one but it was too tight and the next size up was too loose.  Lillian had the same trouble with what she tried on.  I still didn't get the navy blue top yet.  They just don't have them but I'm still trying! 

What color jacket do you want for Shelby? I don't know where you measured that vest but those corduroy ones I made are longer than 13".  Do you want the jacket made out of corduroy?  Ribbed or plain? 

Let me know how things turn out & keep your fingers crossed for Shelby.  

Love to all,

Mama

P.S.  How did you like the book "Spoonhandle"?
