(1992 September)
A few strong showers cause rivulets to run into the Pine, the river near our house, and of course that rises. ... The Pine is high, and people may be evacuated; Geraldine thot she might, so did not come to work. ... Many people on shore to look at the river rising, and so I met Alice Premo (orchard) after many years.
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.
