(1990 February 1)
As I cannot find new lampshades for lamps over my beds, now and then I need to make one. Today was such a time. Pulling out the wall paper sample book Skip got me from Bailey's [paint store], I cut one after the one I made before; at the dots [in her sketch of pattern] I stapled it together and am about to try it out soon.
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.
