How nice of you to think of me! Is there anyone who doesn't love to get letters! yes, that is why we go to the mailbox. (my typewriter needs a new ribbon, but what do I know about that?)
Yes, I think you should have a pat on the back for all of your efforts! I keep well, stay away from Dr.s! I am 95 now, but my only sister is 100 on the 16th. She fell not long ago and broke some ribs. I wish we could live together, but I am considered old, too! Out of my mother of 13 children, we are the only ones left!
Pat your husband on the back for all his good work. I have no desire to ever own a home anymore. I have what I say is a nice apt. for $250.000 per month. I get 10 times that in income since the gov't gives me Leonard's part. He was in the service 30 years. It is just a shame that he couldn't have lived longer. This typewriter was actually his.
Well, this is a small town. Less than 5000 people so if anyone wants to shop, they go to Bend - 120 miles, plus $35. The senior center runs a bus there twice a week. I would like to live in Bend, but it would be too far from Roberta. She still works 3 days a week in Boise, Idaho. she has a little trailer that she lives in when she is off. She and Dave, her husband, are very good to me. she drove me to Toppenish to a family get togther.
I am sorry about your dog, but death comes to all. Yes, I still go to the senior center for lunch on wed and Friday. That is my outing for the week. I am too far from Safeway (only store) to walk there, but there is a notion store a few blocks which I walk to now and then. You know that Kellie has my car as her husbands truck was out of order. She tricked me out of it and I will never forgive her for it. Now, I just call the bus (.75) Oh well, you win some, you loose some!
I can't believe your girls are ready for college. You know Mathue (Kathy's oldest) used his trust for college though it wasn't time for it to mature. He borrowed on it. Is the tuition for college very high? I went to a junior college when I became an LVN nurse and passed meds for a long time. I loved working! It was so busy; it was like a game to plan to get it all done by report time. They said they had to hire 2 when I left, I was 81 then and patients made fun of me for working. I have thought of putting in an ad to work in a home, but I couldn't keep up with the kids, I don't need the money! Just hate the illness!
I had a Cal drivers license when I first moved here and went to the drivers license place to get an Oregon one and when they asked my age, they refused and mailed me an Oregon personal card. Oregon is a tough state, I think. But it isn't a bad climate considering it year round.
Roberta and Dave have a ranch with 30 head of cattle. That's Dave's thing and Roberta has her 3 day work and home 3 days. I lived at their place 3-4 months before I moved to town. Frances, a niece, said surely the neighbors talked about me living alone with Dave so much, but the neighbors were 20-30- miles away, "several fields" Dave was always a gentleman and never failed to comment on a good dinner. I tell Roberta sometimes she seems more like my mother than my daughter. I look up to her. sounds odd, but they are so considerate.
So, now are you lost without going to school? Do you see your father now and then?
Loved your letter! Again??
