(1930 June)
We hung up our fine wedding clothes and prepared for bed. "For Heaven's sake!" I said, "why in the world do you have winter flannel pajamas on in June?" I asked thoughtlessly. "Because," Lorin said, a bit edgy, "I was saving up for this trip." I said no more, for I was beginning to understand the Kay family more as time went on.
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.
