(1991 May 5)
[Polly is having her French class over for dinner.] Bill came to put leaves in table and put bridge table up. I am going to make a (chicken) noodle casserole and a turkey rice casserole (Jennie O turkey roasting now). It's all turkey in both. ... I told Bill my May basket story while having green tea - Bill's mistake - I let it go.
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.
