Dear Jean,Since this is the last one of the pretty notes, I feel you are entitled to it. You know, it's embarrassing to admit to such absent-mindedness but I actually can't remember if I wrote a formal "Thank You" before for the many thoughtful acts you did: entertaining and feeding Tim & John, your pleasant visits to me, the note paper, your cards and letters, getting books from the library – and on & on.
I used to spend many of my wakeful night time hours thinking of the notes I would write the next day and composing them in my mind. It would be interesting to know how many existed in thought only, and how many I actually got sent.
"The Time is Now" was one of the better books I read these past 2 months. You must try & read it some time. It's the most different from any of Pearl Buck I've read. I received as a gift Thornton Wilder's "The Eighth Day" – his newest book. You are welcome to read it some time if you'd like. Charlotte has it right now.
Isn't January sort of a "birthday" month for you too? We're going to celebrate Linda's & Kenny's both on Jan. 28. Weegie will be home then too for "semester break." My broken rt. heel bone & left knee cap is all that's keeping me down now. Am so anxious to get out among people again. Almost forget how to act! I'm taking up knitting – Betty Gano is (bravely) trying to teach me. It's fun & fascinating, if I never master it!
Sincerely –
Your grateful friend,
Laura
