finish them. The kids all say they are sure warm this winter. And went to San Diego
one to Dallas & 2 to MO. I gave Bro Ted one, one to Denver. Dean is in
Saudia Arbra. So I still have his & gave one each to 4 children. & 16
grandchildren oh one went to Grand
Junction Colo too. Grand Junction Colo too. Grand Junction Colo too. I kept one
for myself.
I did have a good garden but my son planted it for me cause
last March guess I must of gotten sinus infection partly from the knit &

So Maurice still milks cows. My daughter & husband turned theirs over to
the one son. Ilene goes all over at the dairy farms to test milk & it goes
to Tapeka, Ks. She is gone 3 to 4 days a week. She stays at night where she is
for the evening & morning test.
She has had to pick her days due to the Storms & icy
wheather & zero too. I heard out there you too have had rain & snow. Side
of our streets are still lots of ice & snow. & we are due for more this
week am biggest snow was 6 in of ice an everything. Guess it is cold &
stormy all over U.S.
I don’t like to write either, but once a year don’t hurt.
Oh, Did Christine get married. I did not relize who Christine True was she she
was here. This could have been Maurice, Grandaughter if so she was little when
I saw her last. She & a boyfriend were on their way to Illinios to get
married. I haven’t heard from them since Bro. Tedd said she was a cousin they
were here late at night & stayed & left early next morning.
I will take time & look it up n this Family History Note
Book Ilene made and get that straightened out. I hope to have some of our kids
here by Dinner at Christmas time.
I he you are all well Tell Maurice Hi for me he can read
this letter to, if you don’t mind.
I forgot to tell you after Wm. Died 9 years ago a neighbor
of mine he always came over to play dominoes with Wm after his wife passed
away. One day he decided to sell out & go to Seattle where his daughter
lives. Then one day about a year ago he ask me to go out their with him, but I
said no. In fact he never knew it but I never liked him ha. Then 2 other guys
wanted me one was father of my son in law & the other his Uncle. I am Happy
the way it is. So what.
Give this a laugh. Guess they wanted a cook as the first one
when he & daughter came back for a visit became to see me & said he had
a lady friend. She does the cooking & he buys the groceries, how about
that.
His son was here too & he said when his dad ask me if I
had a boy friend I said no. He said he dint either have a lady friend we
laughed about it.
Well I better go hear the news so far now, Frances S.
