(1957 June 4)
Thank you, dear, for endorsing dacron shirts. We shall have to experiment. They sound time saving. MM wore a wash & wear to Kassie's today and when K's Tropical Punch spilled all over MM, Dorothy washed it and hung it on the line and had she not mentioned it, I'd not have noticed.

Oldtimer's estate sale
(1957 April 22)
Saturday afternoon we 4 went to the Aldrich auction, LL to protect the estate's interest. Things I came home with I had no intention buying were: a deer hide, a candle making form, fencing rapiers, aluminum pans, and a 90 piece silver set marked A, Reed & Barton plate. Things I did not get tho bid on were: Indian snow shoes, cavalry rifles, sea shell collections. Also offered in glass case was bonnet of Chief White Swan. Wonderful photo equipment, rock collection. Edison phono and big record collection brot 9. Sewing machine 2. LL bid a big grandfather clock up to 150 (to protect estate he says). Jay Buchanon got it and I was sort of relieved. Do you know of anyone who would be interested in the silver? Will sell.

Slick Methodists
(1957 February 18)
Saturday night the Girl Scout Box Social in Methodist Church basement. My troop gave a puppet show and at the very end the stage (planks on horses) shot out into the audience. The floor is new and varnished and slick. I was thankful no one was hurt. But that's me all over.

Tea shock
(1957 February 18, Monday)
I read an item which has shaken me to my depths today - which says that all tea grows on the same type of bush and that what makes the difference is the way it is cured, etc. (and what branch). Shocking - isn't it?

Forgotten music
(1957 January)
When the Richland Center band arrived in your town [Madison] to play for Vernon [Thompson, governor & RC native], they discovered they had forgotten their music at the high school. So director Johnson phoned RC police who raced to Madison with it and got there with ten minutes to spare!

Sick leave
(1957 January)
MM was washing dishes Monday and let a milk bottle fall and break in the sink and cut herself on her right hand between little and ring fingers bad enough to need both fingers bandaged together for healing. As this prevents both music lesson and practicing, she is not too badly off.

The dancing juggler
(1956 December, Wednesday)
Also and this is very very important - you are all hereby invited to MM's dancing class to see "The Juggler." This is, I believe, at 4:30, so please stop in as soon as you get to town. It is at The Auditorium in the basement. If you arrive in the middle of an act, you may have to stand until it is over before seats are offered you, but I am sure it would be just about two minutes or so.
