Thanks for all the letters which I have not answered as I was
busy getting things ready to send away for Christmas. But I thought going out in cold that I need
my navy feather filled big jacket but don’t worry if you can’t send. I got this idea you said that you have 6 bags
of clothing & stuff if I am right if you could tape sort of + cross way and tie good if you don’t mind
just call the grey hound they pick up but don’t have to be delivered here but
if you do so they do. I will send you a
50.00 cheque and you cash & pay them or if they do collect I pay at this
end. I would appreciate it very much but the fur coat you could bring when you
come for Christmas or send later.
It snowed quite a bit here this week but its not so cold today
I went out to a big thrifty sale of new furniture at a good price so I bought
shelfs only Bryan has to put it up its nice tall one about 5 feet. So I will be
able to put all the books & magasines but I left all my magazines at
Vancouver wishing now that I didn’t
I hope I get my cards & Parcels & letters all done
next week.
I bought today ½ foam for cushions that are good for car seats
they are warm to sit on I made one rather crochet one back & front only to
cut out the fowm and work around so Eleanor would have I could do one for you
if you would like it took only two afternoons and not very long ones at that as
usely I work till 2 o’clock or rest then it was done then.
Next Sat I would like to go to the Bay to pick up few things
but there is no rush for that as sometimes its hard to do that as today is Sat
and we were invited to a dinner and we can’t go as one of the girls has her socker around
6 oclock then the other has hers around 8 oclock so dinner is out that’s the way it
goes.
And the 6th of Dec week
end Lisa & Josef are coming. So that
week will be a big week getting food done before hand.
This week I made noodles in that machine Nestor send befor I
just made dumplings or like Nestor calls lump soup. As I was still not strong enough. I had to wash off the oil which got around
the machine. We all liked them I even
made some larger size one for the first time we just had for supper that
evening.
I will close for today hoping will write soon.
May all good things be on your ways always. Love Mother
