Heather: Have you seen Spencer lately?
I am glad for him with Carol. He’s where he should be.

To Kill a Mockingbird and Dr. Martin Luther King’s book.
(Yes) Doug looks good.
I’m good (also).
The birds and squirrels are always outside my window. They all come to eat and do acrobats! I’m never bored.
No, but Ed was John Edward (Spencer).
As a child? Playing with my doll. I adopted Edith’s dolls. I had them after Edith. Then Anna Jane got the dolls. They probably all broke with her. She was reckless. She didn’t sit and hold them. She was running around and throwing them up in the air.
I’m very alert today. I’m reading books.
Vaughn (was here).
Everything around here (Alpine Nursing Home) looks so nice. I’m lucky. I don’t have any pain at all.
No, but the pan (pitcher) is sitting right there looking at me. Sometimes I think I am bright but other times, I’m dead.
[Heather: Yes Mother. We all feel energetic at times and other times just exhausted.]
Big time yesterday (Halloween at Alpine Nursing Home). Everybody had a pumpkin face. Everybody made their own. There was a beautiful witch with a cute face and a black nose with a hat sitting on head. Straw & hay.
He had a beard. He was all right. I didn’t talk with him. (In those days) “Children should be seen but not heard.”
Didn’t like washing dishes. Didn’t have to do it too much. Don’t remember ever having to do any chores, outside of feeding the dog.
“Electric Lights!!! It was so bright and I could see everything. I didn’t have to carry a kerosene lantern or fill the lamp. I was afriad to light the lantern. (With electric lights) all I had to do was turn the lights on!
(Oh) time for my lesson! (scheduled activity at Alpine Nursing Home)
[Heather: I’ll call next Saturday. Love you, Mother.]
Dad saw this on TV. He said, “I know that. I learned it in first grade” and he recited it.
