(1954 August 1)
Saturday MM resumed her music lessons and today Marsha went to church with us. She and MM kept going up and down on the kneelers and in so doing jerking the pew ahead which we were leaning on. Thought we'd land on our faces a few times. LL got wild and cross when jolted in the middle of a solemn moment. Then the time was just the same as at her church but it seemed longer (11-12).
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.
