I am very sick with the flu
since Sat. I hope I get over it by Sat
to go to the wedding.
I bought you twin sizes
sheets. I may send them if I get to
it. Diana told me that you may go to the
wedding so I thought I will give them to you.
I bought 2 sets as they were one for such price and 2 were little more.
I been doing raspberry fruit
lately. I have 14 quarts and Dad said he
will pick more on Lornie’s as ours froze last winter. They were winter killed as there was no snow
on them but Lornie has lots and Mervin Presniak gave a gallon of strawberries
so I did them and I still got Saskatoon from last year. I will pick the beans today, there is not
much of them but I will have enough.
We had frost yesterday, the
cucumbers got touched, there is no cucumber as yet, they got touched with frost
in the spring too. My cabbage is small and geese been at it
too. I have a lot of beets so will have
to do borsch next week and do some beet pickles. Dad wants them, I don’t like beet pickles.
That freezer jam is good on
ice cream too. Jelly I never made as we
are not for jellies.

Diana told me that the baby was sick. When you were small the doctor told me to give vitamins as soon as you start getting colds and it did help.
I won’t have my hair done
for the wedding as the hairdresser going away to a funeral that day. So I will wash it and it will be all right as
it’s short yet.
Matt is going to town this
afternoon so I will get him to mail the letters.
Tracey is going to the
wedding with us.
Tracey is going to the
wedding with us. 
George is going with
all his family.
Dad says we may not go
to Nestor’s this fall as the geese are too much trouble. But I am still hoping. We sure not going to keep no more geese, like
the ducks gave me too much trouble last year so this year the geese. I don’t want nothing any more but Dad says we
will get few chickens yet.
I will close for now, may
write more next time.

We all loved Mom’s jars of raspberry preserves. I’m talking about canned fruit --- not jam. I’ve never made raspberry preserves, but I think this is Mom's recipe:
4 cups
raspberries
2 cups
sugar
1 ½ cups
water
Boil for
20 minutes. Fill one sterilized quart
sealer. Seal and store.
