(1950 February)
Uncle Ed [the handyman] was here for past 2 days. Replaced flooring in living room. Replaced wall boards. Put mirror on other side of door downstairs. Screwed down board in MM's floor near closet door. Sawed off one inch of legs of her stool, better for table. More anon - a long list.
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.
