(1956 October)
We stopped at the roadside stand at Middleton for MM's pumpkin, ground cherries, tomatoes, Indian corn and a taffy apple. At Green Thumb got tulip bulbs.
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.
