Sing-along?

(1992 December 11)

The cooking here is excellent - one thing. Ruth Williams came one afternoon and Jan always. I lay down for a little nap after dinner, and 3 people came in to see if Iwere ill or if I would come to a Sing-Along.

Tabletalk

(1992 December)

[When Mary Margaret suddenly died, Polly went to live at the Schmidt Home.] A nice man at my table has trouble lifting his spoon to his mouth and sometimes bursts into tears, so sad.

Xmas list

(1992 November 16)

I think most people thot it was very dull to get money for Xmas last year. What do you people want this year? Let me have your lists. As for me, a few postcards and stamps. Something curious Sally made. Summer pyjamas with long sleeves. Black tea not in bags. A subscription to a woman's magazine. Your turn to think.

Georgette

(1992 November 16)

How am I? Well, far from good. I think I'd describe it as weak. "I eat, I drink, but not as I should" - taken from an old song, "Georgette, Georgette, why can't you be good.?"
