Hello Honey, How are you? Do hope you are feeling better! We haven't had the mail for several days, hope there will be a card from you when we get it.
Are you 'blazing' a trail to school every morning at 7 A.M? What class do you have?
Do you 'spose I should write on apology to Colene ;haven't heard from her since I sent the puzzle letter.
Talk about blazing a trail-we have to whack one this morning-we have sixteen inches of snow. It has been snowing almost steadily since Monday morning. The bus had a little trouble last nite, even tho the roads had been plowed out-it was five o'clock when Barry came home.
Cheryl Ann is always five or ten minutes later. And I had hot biscuits, scrambled eggs and salad and pumpkin pie ready at 4:30 so we could all eat.
Dad and I ate, so he could get chains going. Blanche called to say there wouldn't be any Mutual. It isn't very cold-16 degrees this morning at 5:35. It is so funny to see Jigger in this deep snow-he holds his head up to keep his chin out of it. The Mama cat was out to the chicken coop yesterday morning when I called them for breakfast and she looked so funny coming along in the deep snow-he holds his head up to keep his chin out of it. The mama cat was out to the chicken coop yesterday morning when I called them for breakfast and she looked so funny coming along in the deep snow. She came weaving along a few steps at a time.
It is hard to get around with the tractor. Dad may have to put the blade on the Ford. Dave and Lyle have come on the Ford. Dave and Lyle have came after the tractor several mornings, to pull theirs out-they don't have any chains on theirs. Dad was rather out-of-patience yesterday-Dave broke the key off and didn't give Lyle the piece he broke off; and Dad needs that piece in order to have a new one made. They have Morings cattle over there, feeding them their hay. Tom never goes out to help. The boys got up real early to get thru-but Lyle didn't make it to school yesterday.
Mom and Lillian have been out to Dana's expecting another one and doesn't feel very well.
Grandma Pierce had a stroke. Then she developed pneumonia and went into a coma last Saturday. She didn't regain consciousness: She passed away at midnite Sunday nite. Her body is being brot back here and services will be held Saturday. I think she would have been 84 in a month or so. She has lived a long, full life. And has been ready to go ever since Bro. Pierce died eight years ago. I'm sure there must have been a happy reunion in heaven. But how badly they must feel to look down and see the way some of their family are living.
Annie Kent is still away. I don't know if she is in California or whether she came back to Idaho. I'm wondering if Sis Pierces services will bring her home.
Grandma Lee is still out to Elizabeth's. She had some more trouble with her legs last week. But she was out Sunday.
Johnny has been sick and was so cranky Sunday-must be getting better. Halen has quite a time of present-the papers are late and the snow is deep, and the roads are slick. And yesterday they tipped the farmhand over. Then when Ernie helped get it right side up, they broke a hose and had to go to Ronan. So, we aren't the only ones to have trouble.
Oh me-the weather man says the wind is going to blow and snow will dift.
Course it may not her. It is do different her. But it would surely drift in soon, as it is a light snow on top. It is so pretty.-it is just getting light. There is a foot of snow piled on some of the branches, of the big spruce, right out to the end and the green tips hang down-looks like a big hand with fingers outstretched and lon nails, hanging down. Every fence post has a tall hat and all teh little twigs and granches are pile high with snow. In the limbs close together the snow is about eight inches deep and the lilac bush is so pretty. The 'strip"around the car is about all we can see of it.
Cheryl Ann was so out-of-patience yesterday morning 'cause I made her wear her snow pants. But I think by the time she got in last nite, she was glad she had them on. I wish Barry would wear a hat! He does wear boots now. His gloves that were too small, were never sent. I finally got a letter saying they didn't have any and weren't expecting anymore.
This xmas was a disappointement as far as shirtsm gloves, blouses and pajamas were concerned. I'll just have to get cotton 'jamas-no more of hte softies. So maybe by your birthday, you'll get your xmas. AS it was at Valentines day-Xms too.
I haven't heard from Mom. She doesn;t write very often. I've wondered if she decided we didn't want any part of the troubles over there and dedided we weren't good listeners. Well, I can listen; but I really can't help matters. So, why get into any discussions. She did say, in the last letter some time ago (oh, we've had a couple of cards since) that Sis. Carbine thought Harold should fight the case, and that he should get the kids. What would he do if he should get them, but I can't think he would. Guess Dana has quit working. Such a mess. And Charles didn't even come home for dinner the nite of Dad's birthday dinner at Dorthy's. I just wonder how long the folks will stand up under the stress, strain, and worry. I think probably it has made a difference even in their own relationship.
A Mr. Emry, in Missoula, got in an argument with his wife and sister-in-law, a Mrs. Hefty. He shot the women, killing them both and then tried to cut his throat-he is in the hospital in fair condition.
Some of these clippings are older.
I'd like the one about Neal saved, please. There have been a number of benefit activities for them. I think the benefit games raised about $250. And a pancake supper brot in $200.
Hugh Homer has served two years-he will be home in a week or so.
Faye's mother has cancer-skin cancer-it is spreading, on her face, neck & back. Faye takes her to Missoula for treatments.
Whoops-phone-
Kenny-must go out to give Dad a message.
Hoping you are well-
Love Your Mommie
