(1963 January 8)
Joke: I made pea soup with ham again this morning and had a big bone for Dee [her little dog]. I called him and held it up and said Sit up, but he slunk away into his bed. At first I was stunned, then realized he was afraid of it - probably thot it was a club of some kind. He is outside enjoing it now tho.
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.
