(1999 August 6)
Last weekend Jan and Bob lashed their canoe to the top of their car, took a picnic lunch to the Dells, and went for a ride. Later on at home, Jan forgot the canoe was on the car and walked into it, giving her head such a bad rap it sent her to bed for the day.
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.
