Not too bad
(1968 Summer)
I told Daddy last night, now I was better, I was going to see to a lot of things and pick up the house. He said, "Oh, the house isn't too bad" In the past we have had some bad times when his shirts were ironed badly and my sewing was all over. I have learned to do the things that are important to him.

Kanables!
(1968 February 3)
Think I'll visit Mabel Kanable at Jean's tomorrow. Think I told you she fell on her lawn below zero, where she lay one hour until helped. The fracture was pinned on her hip, and she is running the vocational school from her bed. We were convulsed. She had her own phone at hospital, and she would answer by saying, "Kanables!" just as if she were at home. But she mustn't be alone yet, so is at Jean's. Is fine - wheelchair - crutches.

Babysitter
(1968 April)
I noticed in the paper all the rioting began in Baltimore. Gives one pause to think. Hope by the time you get ready to go there [on your postdoc in August] things will have quieted down. If a question of safety, as long as I am able I will take the baby [Lawrence]. Hope this unnecessary and family can be together and stay together. You will know as time goes on.

Something new
1968 March 20, First day of Spring
As Lorin came home at noon, I was finishing licking an envelope at my desk. "I just threw Caution to the Winds" I said. "And ordered a dress and cape at Simpson's. What's new with you?" -- "Look outside," said he. Looking out, I spied a gold four-door Cadillac. "Whew!" said I. Then he explained: as he was coming home [in his Oldsmobile] Frank Jones [client & GM dealer] caught up with him at Hestitunes with this car they had been waiting to come in. So they traded so Lorin could try it out. So there it was. Beautiful. Convenient to get in and out of. Our last car. You know, every time Lorin (the Bank) uses his car, he salts away fifty cents so when it is time for a new one, he has a car fund ready.

My old things
(1968 February 21)
I often look at all my old things and wonder what will become of them. When Richland Center has a museum, that might be the answer - those old flat irons - etc. Oh well --
