(1994 August)
Last week we had a picnic. All two floors of us gathered in the basement and on paper divided plates in cafeteria lines we stood in line for baked beans, potato salad, cabbage salad, sandwiches, with cakes passed in tins they were baked in. I did not think it very successful myself.
(1994 August 19)
As time goes on odd facts appear. Talking to Ellen (maid) yesterday I found the real reason everyone was taken to the basement on this Picnic was to vacate the dining room so it could be painted! I must say I haven't noticed any change. I'll look again and report.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
