Dear Larry:

Just got home from Church so I thought I had better drop you a few lines to let you know I am thinking of you. Today is Ash Wednesday and Karl had to serve mass at 7:30 P.M. so Aunt Mary took us to Church and on the way home we stopped at Pay Less and got some rolls for breakfast.  Dad is working at the Club as usual on Wednesday nights. Joanna is waiting for Carol J—– to pick her up and they are going out for a while. Tresa and Karl are already in bed for the night and Carol is still doing her homework.

Hi Larry,

Now I am at bingo helping mommy. She didn’t win yet. Anderson isn’t playing in the sectional anymore because Highland beat them.

This afternoon Carol, Barbra, Karl, Daddy, and George W—– went to the games. Markleville played Madison, but Madison won. Highland played Alexandria, and it was a close game. They had 2 overtimes. Highland won with the score of 71 and Alexandria 69. Tonight Carol, Barbra, Daddy, Karl and Cooney S—– went to Madison playing Highland. I’m for Highland. Continued »

Dear Larry:

I thought I’d get started on your letter early and write what I can then finish it later because I have quite a bit of work to do around the house. For one thing, mop my dirty kitchen floor. Ha. Right now I am sipping on tea and eating a bite of cereal between lines to you.

The temperature is 30 degrees outside today and it is snowing. one day it looks like spring and the next it’s snowing.

Joanna is getting ready for work. She has to go in at 10 and work till 6:30 so I had to take time out and fix her lunch, potato soup, ham sandwich and a Twinkie.
