(1955 March 13)
Sunday night, and after a dull day, which seems to be what Daddy needed to face the week tomorrow, we are on the verge of retiring. Maggie already is tucked in, not too sleepy perhaps, as she was exhausted and slept until 10 this morning. Daddy is working a puzzle of about 500 pieces, every one blue, and get one piece about every hour.
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.
