My dear Mable –
Well I finally found time to write a few lines & send
some pictures our anniversary &
house. I love this place better each day. However I could do with a little less
zero & below weather & all this snow but maybe next year it won’t be so
severe. You wouldn’t believe how much better I feel & look since I got
those sick teeth out & new ones in. I feel like a new person so now I’ll
have to be careful that I don’t start gaining weight. Be sure to tell me about
Forest the next time you write. I haven’t had any news about him for such a
long time. I’m sure Wilda has kept you up to date on Dels accident & how sick
he was for nearly 2 months. My God what I went thru seeing him thru that
ordeal. Sent our government in a Hellish mess. I’m so anxious to find out what
will become of that no good Nixson. I never did like him ever when h was Vice
President. Last night the horse got Tar into a corner & he couldn’t get
away from her & she was pawing him like crazy. He was crouched down in the
corner & just petrified. I had to run out here screaming like a wild Indian
& waving my arm to scare the horse away so I could get to the dog &
rescue him. I got my pants caught on the fence as I climbed it & had to
climb it again with Tar in my arms (he
weighs about 90#) I turned him lose & he ran like crazy & got in his
house & stayed there & then it got dark. I shudder to think what would
have happened if we hadn’t of seen it before the sun went down. She probably
would of pawed him to death. Now here I sit waiting for it to get light enough
for me to see (the next morning) if he is able to come out of the house. I’m
still puzzled as to what the dog did to the horse that made her so mad. They
are usually buddies. We are going to take Cinder to have her spayed tomorrow so
we won’t have any more puppies. Sure do hope it calms her down. She is so wild
& full of life. Well the sun came up & Tar is OK. Am sending pictures
of us & one of Lyle Wilda & me. I thought they turned out pretty good.
Well tomorrow is my birthday (circle around the number 54). My God I’m really
over the hill aren’t I? I feel younger than I did 10 years ago & I know its
because I’m happy. It’s been so long that I don’t remember what I wrote in my
last letter so I’m afraid I’ll repeat myself & someone will think I’m nuts.
Anyway George & Blanche Schuartsferger live here & they told me you
helped them when one of their children was born. You probably know a lot of
people around here. Does Albert live in Osborne? I looked in the phone book
& there is a A W Hacherott and what is hi sisters married name?
We watched Nixon on TV last night & really I feel sorry
for him. Guess it isn’t easy for him. I want to have Ray take pictures of the
kitchen & livingroom too. I can hardly wait until Spring to work in this
beautiful yard & flowers & rock garden. We didn’t have time last summer
to do anything except work on the inside. Well I suppose you’re keeping busy
now that you’re home again. I’m so glad that you have Shirley & her family.
I often think if I lose Del I’ll have nothing but a shack full of dogs & a
horse. Well I bette to get ready to go out & feed them or else they’ll
leave home.
Love Bonnie
