(1958 August 20)
As Auntie Mabel left Saturday it felt like a long week; and being alone again was fun doing something together. Altho we had an Alice in Wonderland time, yet the fact remains that at 81 she can still play a better game of croquet than any of us can! Amazing.
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.
