(Dogs 6)
All four of us [Ruth and the Kays] went to the station to meet the train and get the dogs. We let them out on the Court House Lawn and they ran around like crazy, never stopping, wild with joy, tumbling with freedom. It was evening, and I was worried for fear they would in their delight tear into the street, but they knew the grass was safer, and soon we gathered them up and went off home with our pets.
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.
