Dear Betsy,
I haven't heard from you for a long time. I am lonely and miss you today. I can't afford to call and I never know when you are home.
My left hip is really bad and hurts so bad. I ended up crying to sleep. Today I washed my hair and did 2 loads of laundry in the basement. The stairs really hurt the hip. I am on 2nd round of antibiotics.
We have been having rain here and warmer temperatures. My feet are bad.
Last Saturday our 1/2 bathroom (I mean 1/2 of the BR flooded and towels were put on the floor) They smelled and turned brown. Well I wore thongs but I got impentigo on the toes. So now I am painted purple.
So I hope you are better off than me. I never see any family. My mom had 2 big parties this past week. She has no time for her family. She will see what she has done some day when it is too late. I would never be too busy for you. You'd be first.
Bob is feeling a little better but he sleeps days and evenings so I am lonely. I don't know what makes him so sleepy.
My hair is really very long and curls by self but I will set it in a little while. My hair keeps me warm.
My church news came today and I haven't had a chance to look at it.
So what are you doing besides the working? What about David?
I guess Bob and I will have Christmas by ourselves. My parents will probably invite us the day before or Christmas day. I don't plan to go there.
They are playing Christmas Carols on the radio and they are so pretty. Did I tell you I have been playing my violin a lot? It is hard work but sounds much better.
Well, I sure hope you are enjoying life and happy. It is important to be happy. Remember I love you dearly and miss you so much. Ask Bob how much I cry because I miss my daughters. I love you!!
Merry Christmas.
All my love,
Your mom
