Dearest Betsy,
Please forgive me for not writing but I have not been very well. I had pneumonia with a terrible cough. Plus my feet have been a real mess. I feel better now. I do want to thank you for your letters. So you are wearing glasses. I bet you look nice in them. I have to wear mine all the time. I can't see very well with them.
So you have fallen in love with Kermon. That is so great. I hope everything goes well. How often do you see him?
One of your letters you mentioned "Why were things so different than 2 years ago?" One reason is I only saw you 30-45 minutes this time. Last time you were here a week and stayed with me. I wish I could have seen more of you. My shoulder hurt so badly - It seems to be already better except I lift the w/c too much.
Bob is doing alright. His head hurt and he slept so much. His blood pressure was too high. It is now down. I game him a hair cut but he needs a barber that is for sure . This is a pretty time of year (my favorite). I bought some nice things there for my Christmas present, etc. I love to go.
My parents gave me their 1983 Omega Oldsmobile and took my car and sold it. I love the car. It has power brakes and power steering.It has cruise control. It is sand beige and seats 4.
My mother's birthday is Friday so we will all go to Bill Knapp's for supper. A lady here made a kitchen towel, pot holder, etc. It is a set and cost $5.00 I hope she likes it.
I am making chili in the crock pot now. It will cook all day. It should be good. We both love chili.
My apartment is a disaster. We had to unload every cupboard, etc. so they could spray. We took Kelly to Aunt Ida and Bob and I went to Red Roof Inn. Well, 4 days later we discovered our big freezer off. It had blood everywhere and is was full of food. We may take them to court. We haven't the money to replace it. We had 24# of beef, 3 roasts, and a pot roast. We had shrimp and fish and pot pie. Very upsetting. I hate living here but we can't afford much else. Our rent went down starting in January.
My cat Kelly is fine. She is so spoiled and purrs all day. She loves to be combed. We love Kelly even Bob admits it.
Well, I have no news. I miss you and really love you. Sorry I haven't written. Please understand.
All my love,
Mom
Tell Kirstie that I love her and she will hear from me soon.
