The original publication of “Glimpses of the Past: Morning Conversations with Audrey”, Audrey’s memoirs, covers Audrey’s weekly phone conversations with her daughter from the time period beginning June 12, 2002 and ending September 4, 2004. The only exception was sadly no phone calls between mother and daughter in March, April, May and June of 2003 when Audrey moved to Alpine and did not have a phone.

I feel fine.  I sit here and look out (the window).  Always something going on.

When Amber comes over, she fixes the bookcase.  Amber hasn’t come over lately.   O dear, I’m getting sleepy.

Yes, I love you too, Heather.

I’m fine.  Feel very good.

Spen and Carol are happy together.

I’m reading Martin Luther King, Jr.’s book  How to Love.  It is very, very, very good.  I had a hard time to put it down.  Now I have a hard time to pick it up.  I can’t reach it.

Meagan Elizabeth is a very pretty little girl.  Meagan Elizabeth is a pretty name.

Jessica, she is a jolly little girl.  She is always dancing around and always full of life.  She is very cute too.

All (of my great grandchildren) are lovely children.  Can’t find anything wrong with any of them.
