(1993 January 22)
Let's say I am busy writing - Helen [new roommate] may say, "Are you going to dinner?" Me: "Yes, in an hour, when it's announced." She: "I mean then." Me: "Yes, then I will go." She: "Can I walk with you?" Me: "Of course."

Jacob's ladder
(1993 January 1)
Today we had a New Year's Party in the Dining Room and funny hats and eats and games, and I won 2 4" candy canes by answering it was angels going up and down the ladder to heaven (old Sunday School teacher). I sat next to Margaret Scott on a metal folding chair.

Balaclava
(1993, first Sunday in January)
On the radio, a quiz last night. No prizes. This poem, "Onward, onward rode the 600." I called Jan and said "400," and she put me on her team, but I don't remember guessing any more.

Grace
(1993, first Sunday in January)
The first thing to get in your head at a place like this [Schmitt Home] is that you are not the boss. Breakfast is at 7:30, and if you are not there, why aren't you? A nurse may be called in. Are you ill? So today I had a big breakfast and came back and got in bed. Not long before a rustle. Me: "Hello!" - "It's Grace, Polly. I will make the bed. Don't worry. Well, there are so many of them that wet the bed and try to cover it up - I was just checking." - "Goodbye, Grace." She goes on to say, "Have a good day if you can."

Time to write
(1992 December)
The woman sitting at my table ... is a little odd. Many people here have been sent by their doctors. Margaret Scott pushes her sister around and around until 4 p.m. when relieved by a school girl and then she can write. [Scott was a prolific local historian.]

Knitting class
(1992 December)
The knitting class [that Polly volunteered to give at the Schmitt Home] never got started. I talked to the woman in charge of activities, very interested but not started. Remarked supplies could be at hand at Vergil and Connies, a RC store. Well - I offered.

Wheelers
(1992 December)
Every type of wheel chair invented rolls past my open door. God bless these brave people rolling along.
