(1954 January)
I had a windfall yesterday and I must tell you! LL and Mr. Sharp somewhat laughed at me when I rescued old thermostat and took it to Sears to see if it could be resold. But nothing but respect for me when at Kiwanis Mr. Lloyd gave LL $6.00 for me from it! More than the whole furnace brought at junk yard, $2.90. (Of course I have [saved] some [parts of it] for trash burning.).

Grapes again
(1953 September)
Fearing frost, picked 2 bushels of grapes yesterday afternoon. Now my days are full of juice and jelly and fatigue.

Hot stuff
(1953 Summer)
I trust you enjoyed your walk back home [in Madison] more than we our ride back home. Thinking I would have a refreshing drink of ice water in thermos, I took a big swallow and gagged, as it was almost boiling; in fact, I did pour the remainder over spinach to get it cooking for supper. But home safely.

Kiwanis picnic
(1953 June)
Tonight, Monday, was the Kiwanis picnic at park. Potluck and lush. Then games etc. afterward. One stunt was to line up 6 couples and give the ladies each a roll of toilet paper to wind completely around their partners and then prizes to the best mummies. Daddy was first in hanging out a wash but didn't get a prize as his sagged and touched the ground.

Cowardly language
(1953 May)
Tuckers were in Milwaukee the same weekend as it was Mother's Week End. Two plays were given for entertainment, and one was "Fumed Oak" by Noel Coward. All were shocked by the filthy language. I just must find it and read it, or if you could tell me about it, it would suffice.

Whistleblower
(1950 June 1)
Thank you so kindly for Mary Margaret's whistle which she blows shrilly constantly. She also loves the hot water bottle and fills and refills it with water when the first has leaked out. Appreciate your thoughtfulness.
