[To Lawrence:] Well, - off you went along home [to Kansas] and left me with half a box of Cheerios to finish off. Perseverance has its rewards, however, and I at last ate my way to the Jiminey Cricket decal which I could claim, as "possession is nine-tenths of the law." But I am such a darling, kind grandmother, I will pass it along to you with the fond hopes that you may get in trouble pasting it in some wrong place! (Ha Ha)

Biker
(1976 August)
Lawrence, now that you have a bike of your own, you can be more independent in going places. Right? .... You could hop on your faithful steed and be off and not wait for Skip to drive you. Of course you would have to get his permission.

Terrible two
(1976 July 22)
David [Burnett, Polly's grandson] was two on Friday and was so naughty! MM had mothers and kids in for coffee, and he bit the children and bit [his brother] Ben till the blood came. Locked his father out of the the car at Hot Parking Lot while grocery shopping, climbed on stove with lit burners, after supper poured shampoo all over himself. Sherry - still time to think it over!

Novelty
(1976 July 22)
One day I was feeling unusually well and thot I could take Dee for a walk to the Foot Bridge. Betty Brindley happened to see me and invited me in, and besides having a good chat she gave me excellent Italian Beans bought at Farmers' Market at Court House Square at 7:30 a.m.

The Mill Pond
(1976 July 22)
When I go there [to the Thrift Shop] I walk over the Dam, and when I look to my right, I see debris making the waters ugly. But when I look to the left, I see the ducks, of course, but most of all those lush green green islands which always remind me of what I dream Ireland is like.

Thrift shopper
(1976 July 22)
Today [at the Thrift Shop] an old codger bought from me a winter coat $1, a good jacket 40 cents, and electric clock $1. As he settled up, I asked him if they all fit - he said it was all right if they didn't - he gave them away to them who needed them. Confided he had lots of money - his brother left him $5000 - it was in the bank! I advised him to leave it there and not let anyone get it away from him, as he was telling me how the kids teased him for money. Pour soul - he was wearing two pair of pants, a black pair pulled over a green pair - a matching jacket and felt hat - in all this heat!

Thrift Shop
(1976 July 22)
Today was St. Barnabas' day to work at the (Church) Thrift Shop. When I arrived at 1:30 to relieve Helen Dixon, she was deluged with a group of foreigners from the circus (at Fair grounds) talking Spanish (?). One boy was going to walk out with a pair of shoes. - I never go there without coming away having learned something from the poor.
