Heather: When did Vaughn and you make the puzzle together?

Audrey: We had a round table that Aunt Jeannie gave me. Yes, I enjoyed making a puzzle. You leave it there and everybody comes by and makes a piece. When Vaughn comes over he works with me on the puzzle.

Heather: How do you like the ﬁrst drafts of the Memoirs that I have been sending you?

Audrey: I laugh at everything. I laugh that it actually happened. When it was happening, it was dull. When you read about it, it is interesting!

Heather: Hello, Mother, how are you?

Audrey: I’m ﬁne! I’m doing crossword puzzles. I’m on the second crossword puzzle. I have to look up the answers for some. When someone comes, I’ll give it to them and say “here, you try it”. See how smart you are. I’ll see if there is anything I know for sure.

Heather: What have you been doing lately?

Audrey: I’m packing and picking things up. I’ve got plenty of room. I have this plastic thing (magnifying glass). My sight is not good anymore. I take this glass and put it over words. I love this glass. It is just great. It is not heavy. This magnifying glass comes in handy.

I have spells where I’m awfully tired, and then I don’t. I sleep a lot, because I like to sleep. I have a great time. I don’t have to worry.

There are yellow birds, three or four at a time, that are at the bird cage. I’ve got this bird cage and the birds ate all the stuff. Here comes some squirrels. There goes the ﬁrst one up the pole.

Heather: Did you ever think that you would have seven children?

Audrey: No, I love my little babies. That was so fun, the baby part of it. And to think I had seven! That’s a lot! Now, I would think and not have so many babies. They just came along. I just loved my babies.

What, Oh, they are coming for Bingo. I’ve got to go. Love you.

Heather: Hello, Mother. What have you been doing?

Audrey: Deardra came. I’m in my chair and we go out. Everything going ﬁne! Stephanie and her sister look just alike. Been out and walked around a lot. I was with Deardra.

I called Dawn. She’s got a boyfriend! He was a college professor. He is a “gentleman”. He is older than she. Spencer couldn’t get over it! (he was surprised but happy for her).

Amber and Crystal pop in. Amber bought curtains yesterday. She is having lots of fun. It’s nice to settle down. She has her own car. Today, men and women both need a car.

Amber’s boyfriend is awfully good to her. He’s a good guy. I hope they get settled down and both enjoy their life!

Tell me. Who are you’?

Heather: I’m Heather in California. You are talking about so many people that it is easy to forget who you are talking to. Where do you go when family members take you out for a ride in the car?

Audrey: We go by the Fiskeville and Quidnessett Baptist Churches and they have changed to big long strong things. I like the older little churches (the physical buildings). Now the new churches are all alike.

Heather: You were ahead of your times. I couldn’t understand why you were so upset when they tore down the Rocky Hill Chapel because it was in the way of the 95 Freeway. You wanted them to move it to the Fairgrounds as a historical building. The ignorant people, with lack of foresight, tore it down. Now as I age, I understand why you were upset. If that building were still standing today, the county could use it as a tourist attraction or the historical society could use it as meeting room. After all, how long ago was that building built and it was kept up all those years.

Audrey: I am glad I’m old. I would not want to be 20 years old now.

I am so upset when they take the older reporters on TV off and put a younger person in the older person’s place. Old newscasters are taken off. I’m reading Tom Brokaw’s book. That’s a different story. It’s nice and interesting. I’ll grab a book and pick it up anywhere I am and begin reading. I’m always reading back and forth. I keep reading. All those I’m meant to read, I really want to read it. Every book get everything upset or up in arms in the ﬁrst part of the book and then the end is what happens. I have been so busy. I’ve got a lot of books to read!

Tom (Audrey’s friend at Alpine Nursing Home), he’s about to die. He’ll he dead.
