(1988 May 27, Memorial Day)
As fifty years ago, the parade at 10 forming at the Court House etc. and on to Cemetery. Gone are my parade days, as long standing tires me so; however, that is something I can bear without tears.

Pillowtalk again
(1988 April 29)
About that 17th-century pillow I am embroidering for you -- if there is the least chance of CATS sitting on it, may I suggest framing it? [We did.] It turned out to be quite beautiful. Last night I put a portion of the trellis in wrong and must rip that out today and do it over. I hadn't realized the directions.

Grapevine
(1988 April 29)
When I saw the enclosed clip about Tina Rott, I called Mrs. Johnson [old cleaning woman] to ask if she was a friend of hers. -- No, not a friend, but knew of her and her husband. But she knew she was going to be 100 in a couple of days because the girl who did Mrs. J's hair in Yuba told her about it.

Moleproof
(1988 May 4)
I have decided moles do not like the taste of daffoldil bulbs as those are the only ones left blooming.

A spring outfit
(1988 May 4)
Today I did wear my new outfit to Church and not one comment. The coat is heavier than I thot, and the dress is like a nightgown. Sue L. sewed up what I drew, but didn't turn out chic at all; however, a spring outfit.

Pillow talk
(1988 April 16)
Your Xmas gift to me is all embroidered but two flowers and is indeed beautiful. I still must make the trellis and also the inner pillow, which I searched for here but couldn't find. ... Sunday: Attempted to embroider your pillow, but have lost my needle. All efforts to find it with magnetic horse shoe the boys gave me so far in vain.

Bing Crosby
(1988 April 16)
I enjoy the Bing Crosby [tape] Lawrence sent. He recorded it himself I'm sure at the radio station - about 15 songs, some I never knew he sung. About an hour long. Today I turned it to low and it put me to sleep. And shut itself off.
