(1956 September)
Sunday LL & MM went to Premo's [orchard] and got a bushel of apples - juicy and good - and a bag of the juciest pears I ever tasted.

Pizza mixup
(1956 Easter)
Sunday night I made an Appian Way Pizza Pie Mix I happened to have on the shelf and filled it with a ground meat mixture besides the sauce in the mix, and I never cooked anything worse. The dough or crust was so tough we could not chew it and it could be cut only by using force on the kitchen shears. To top it off, after supper I got one of my gastric attacks and went to bed fending off MM who wanted to put an ice pack on my poor stomach.
[Marginal note:] Are all pizza pies that way? Our first.

Dial phones?
(1956 July 3)
I see a telephone truck is stopping here and I suppose they will wire us for Dial which will have next year. No - they are trimming the tree. No they are attaching a cable - putting several wheels on a wire - ?? with a pole - ??

Handyboy
(1956 July 3)
Yes, Skip had had lots of experience in many directions. Never a week, barely a day, at home but what we had some darn project underfoot like taking out a rug or building a shelf or even turning a mattress. He usually stayed at home and enjoyed puttering at times, but you-know-who [MM] says "I'll be seeing ya" and off like a rocket.

Missed your graduation
(1956 July 3)
We had the radio on the whole time and were disappointed not to hear your name spoken. Supper was prepared, eaten, and dishes washed before it was over. As you said, long to sit. Just as I was using my garbage disposer, Charles Starr's name was called!

Progress
(1956 Summer)
Lorin's desk got rained on and we got a new roof on deck, hot water heater blew a fuse in the thunderstorm, we get a bible school teacher tomorrow, - on with progress! (I must kill a fly now.)

Batting bats
(1956 Summer)
There is an old laundry case in the attic which might be pressed into service if you aren't afraid of the bat up there. Lenzes were here to supper last night and Don killed one but no one knows where the other is.
