(1986 May 13)
The Burnetts came Saturday.... Coming back [from lunch] I had the boys each take a lemon and make lemonade - their first experience (always in a MIX).
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.
