The Women's Auxiliary of our diocese used to meet every fall in some church, and we entertained them the first time our church was a church, and I think it was there I met Mrs. Ringling of Baraboo. She was barely 5 feet tall, well but quietly dressed, not expensively as you might think, at least 50 years and thin. I was very surprised to meet one of that name.

Trash run
(1992 March 18)
I realize my memory is not very solid, but at times there is compensation: to wit: I was taking my nap when I heard a noise of vehicle going past. Suddenly realized it was Monday and garbage was not out. Springing from my bed like a startled deer, I dashed into the bathroom, dressed complete with coat and leather work mittens, quickly went to the garage, where I saw the bag and set it at the curb. Then getting a small sack, got the kitchen garbage into it and now await collection!

Word lover
(1992 March 18)
WhenI saw the article about the Yiddish language in the January Smithsonian, I was reminded of the time I stayed in your friend's apartment [in Lawrence] and did Lesson 1 in his Jewish grammar. I have always been fascinated by words, their origin, and usage, and realize I should have a Latin foundation.

Have not yet received the book you sent. Where can it be? Maybe postman is reading it.

Wheelchair
(1992 March 7)
In spite of pill at 11, work up bright at 1:30. What to do? Add a note to you. I have my wheel chair, a cheerful red. It is to save my heart from walking to living room to see TV. MM is proud of it and likes me with her. I am in no pain but at times feel something is going on in heart regions.

Bedbound
(1992 March 7)
[After a false alarm about my heart] MM called Dr. Smith, who said I was to stay in bed (hell) - worse places.

Out of reach
(1992 late January)
Today I am going to try to mail your calendar. January has already gone with my prevaricating. MM is sleeping late today and no doubt has plans, but shall try. I need her help to get a bag or folder to put it in. I used to carry a stool and climb up to the saved bags, but I seem to be getting too old to be so frisky. Shall try to walk out to the mail box, tho.
