Heather: Living these nearly 100 years, what made the greatest change in your life?

“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.]
