Was so Happy to hear Sally got B's on her Report Card - shows she is still one of us mortals.

The thought that counts
(1986 November 12)
I cannot help but express my views on Xmas gifts. A "My Little Pony Barn" for $80. Are we all mad? What became of our resolution to cut down and try for $25? per person! I am not going to buy expensive things and I hope I don't get any to embarrass me.

Circus parade
(1986 July 12)
Have watched good circus parade in Milwaukee 2-4 pm [on TV]. Fine horses from around Wisconsin and circus wagons restored from Italy, England, US - often rotting in sheds. I don't recall having seen llamas hitched to wagons before - 4-6 to one trot along jauntily. A Liberty holding the Torch had to practice a long time to hold up arm. .... Beautiful horses etc.

Ticked off
(1986 July 12)
I did a miserable thing today. The blue pillow on davenport was losing feathers and a bother. So I made a new cover for the inside pillow of ticking. On the machine. Got it all done and was very disappointed to feel how hard it was - not nice for naps any more. I didn't know the ticking would make it so hard. At least we are spared feathers all over.

Conjugal bliss
(1986 July 12)
Your daughter [Sally, 7] is a marvel! Does she really conjugate the [Latin] verbs? Of course she has a pretty good teacher [Skip].

Helper
(1986 October 18)
Sally ... I enclose a dollar ... to help the good cause along. Let me know how you use it. I help whales, sea lions, sick people, and Indians. Others too.

The kettle song
(1986 March 30)
Sally, last night I heard children play piano. A boy, 5, played "Polly Put the Kettle On," just like you.
