(1990 February 1)
As I cannot find new lampshades for lamps over my beds, now and then I need to make one. Today was such a time. Pulling out the wall paper sample book Skip got me from Bailey's [paint store], I cut one after the one I made before; at the dots [in her sketch of pattern] I stapled it together and am about to try it out soon.

Unpersuaded
(1989 July 27)
Speaking of books ... I read Persuasion, and I must say I can't recall ever reading a duller book. At the end of this romance, not a kiss, not a holding of hands even. Just a letter with tenderness WRITTEN. What an ending!

Bastille Day
(1989 July 14)
It seems to be the 200th anniversary of French Independence, asI hear bursts of the Marseillaise on the radio. I used to sing this in French but no more.

Pea pods
(1989 June 26)
Bill brought me some delicious peas which are the kind of which one eats the pods. He says that is the only kind he bothers with any more.

Swan
(1989 June 21)
Well - I can think of no more and shall ring off. - O yes - I saw the Swan on TV. Grace Kelley. Our theatre class in Shorewood [in 1930s; Milwaukee suburb] worked on that play. Excellent.

Big Box
(1989 June 21)
I wish I could think of a little news for you. The Chinese Restaurant on the Square is no more - changed hands, and no Chinese food. Burnsteads on the Square has remodeled and is very large, too large for me, as I get too tired walking so far to pick up groceries, but patronized by many.
