(1989 September 21, probably Tuesday)
There is an auction of hospital chairs, tables, etc. at the Community Building, served up with sandwiches, pie and coffee this afternoon, but as you see, I am not there. I can't understand the auctioneer for one thing. One year it had a sale, and I am much better buying things. Besides, I don't care to eat pie late in the day - an odd time for me.
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.
