Watch lost

(1992 July 10)

I have not found the wrist watch Daddy gave me, and I wonder if it went with the trash before I missed it. I look every day.

[While MM went to Madison] Ben was instructed to get our evening meal so it could not be said I had to do it. Ben has changed from desiring to be a chef to becoming a doctor.

Chops

(1992 June 18)

I went in the kitchen and asked MM, "What's for supper?" "Chops," says she. "What's Ben doing?" asked I. "Fixing himself a steak," says she. "He don't like chops." Bruce brot Ben to stay with us a while since he misses his mother. I am not sure which higher school each [grandson] will choose.

Wristwatch

(1992 June 18)

Yesterday, not looking, I meant to drop my wrist watch in my top drawer of the set by the bed, and not looking, I let it fall in the glass of water near by. It is the pretty little gold one Daddy gave me - we went into the jewelry store together, in Milwaukee. Of course I dried it out near the heat, but it may never go again. The insides may be replaced perhaps. After me, I wish Dorothy to have it.

Duller days

(1992 June 12)

I hope Sally will like it at the music school she is at. If she is looking for a loving dull place to spend a month, remind her of her Grandma Polly's.

Uplift

(1992 June 12)

I had a distinguished caller last week, John ? - the one who built the library and pool, etc. I'll have to put his name in when I find it [but never did -- Brewer]. I think it was all at church, as he said he thot he and Bill Birkett just needed for one to take one side, the other the other, and they could carry me [in a wheelchair] up the church steps to my pew.
