thoughts of the moment and of my life

3/12/1936 mother to daughter


We arrived home about 9o”clock, cold and ready for bed. I was so happy after being with you all afternoon, but Daddy is such a busy guy he said some day he was coming over just to spend the afternoon with you alone and not think of business.

Thursday morning we got up and the ground was covered with snow. Those pretty days made me think the winter was over, but I guess even I can be wrong. Such blizzards as we have had all day…not so cold, but just mean.

I went to club this afternoon.  I felt sorry for the poor souls that had to set and look at this sore face of mine all afternoon, but they wouldn’t take no for answer when I wanted to stay at hone so……I won a prize.

I never have ask you but do you girls play bridge? Well, must have been Frankfort day at Indianapolis for I will name all those that were there, and you help me guess how we missed seeing some of them…Don and Gertie Hackett, Mary Britten, Martha Wertz, Carrie and Ray Boyer, Pansy and Joe Anderson, Dr and Mrs. Triece, and of course, Frank, Julia and Walter. that we saw.  Keep your eyes open on Wednesday when you are down town here. for Frankfort folks are buying their spring clothes and give them time they will all be over.

Honey, Martha Werts called me this morning and ask if you would rent or sell your taffeta formal, seems as tho Mary Ellen has three formal dances this spring and her Mother doesn’t want to buy her but one and her last years one I don’t think she can wear. So I told her to write and ask you, but the more I think of it I don’t want you to sell it. You couldn’t get enough out of it to buy another one and the style is still good.

If you care to loan it to her, I think it would be ice, but you do as you like about that. That is your very own dress but if you do loan it to her, she must have it cleaned afterwards. That’s not asking too much. Then it will be ice and fresh for you at anytime. Martha said she had just thought of the idea, but she hadn’t talked with Mary Ellen about it, and didn’t know whether she would want to write you or not.

I explained to Doris about you having so many to write to, so that smoothed down her ruffled feathers, ha.  Harry is coming Sun. I think. I will send your hose over Sunday with Lewis. How did the crackers taste…go slow on the candy my honey girl, you must limit your self on that kind of stuff and buy fruit instead of candy, if you must eat.  But hop on the scales every week and watch your weight. It is easier to keep fat off than to take it off.

I am going back to the doctors tomorrow for another treatment for my face. Honey I try to think it is better but to be honest I don’t see that it is.  I am plain discouraged, but if a dr. can’t heal it…you look for a remedy for it from Dr. Price. ha

I talked to Mary Ellen to see if she had any news but she said they had club last week at Mary Katherines, and a school dance…other than that there was nothing doing, only if Frankfort goes to Indianapolis she will be over but that she would write you about that later.

Lewis and Winnie are at HY tonite. Daddy went to a Kiwanis  meeting. He is on the board or something (You can bet for your Prices to be in the know of everything) he got home about 8PMm so we came down to the office…he is ordering paint for the service station.

He is going to build a new service station in Lebanon this spring. They are talking of buying  the Warren Oil Co. out in Lafayette. Again, if they do, then Daddy is willing to move down, but I guess the new bulk plants at Lafayette and Crawfordsville have fallen thru as too expensive right now…and are we glad.

Well darling there isn’t any news for we are leading a pretty quiet life, until the fish start to nibbling.

Tell me all about this party Wed. nite. Don’t leave anything ouit — get me.

I will keep you posted on improvement of my mug and don’t think about it…..let Dr. Dicushen do that.

Hunt up a cheap but reliable dry cleaner when you are downtown for you will want your suit cleaned soon as it warms up.

Love and kisses from everyone, but woof and he is still over at Dr.  Did you know that Don White was married and went to Florida on their honeymoon. The girl was the one he had over at our house one evening last summer, remember?

bye bye you old so and so     mother
