From the "found after the designated year" file, this letter was written shortly before Grandma and the Hortons and the rest of us went to Phoenix for Roberta & Sid's wedding.
Dear family -
My letter writing has some what been neglected lately. Too many Christmas activities. Cindy & Rob were here this afternoon with presents & a light supper. They leave Tues. for Ind. to spend Christmas with her folks. So we had a little Christmas while they were here. Also Frances & John dropped in for a while. Right now Mary joined the choir at 6 o'clock & they were to go out to sing Christmas Carols. Bill just left to join them at a home where they will have a covered dish supper. He took a pumpkin pie.
Last Fri. the Lions Club had their Christmas turkey dinner at the Congregational Church. I was a guest & they had a very nice dinner program. It rained all day & was fair when we came home. But what a day & evening. At least it was nice to get in the car in the garage & we were fortunate enough to park right at the entrance so didn't get wet.
Last Fri. a lady from the L.W. Play House gave a Christmas Reading for the Literary program which was very good & then there was a tea afterward. It seems as if there must always be refreshments. Then you hear all the talk about dieting.
Sat. Larna had a party at the Park house for a couple who had been married for 50 years. M. & Bill went. I was invited but since I didn't even know them I didn't go. Mary said more came than expected. They served a lunch at 12. I would say a dinner from what Mary said. I guess it was a carry in by the guests for it seems as if the Hortons got cake. This week the V.I.A. [?] tomorrow go to a nursing home to sing & then come back to the church to eat. Mary goes to play for singing but I don't think I am going. Wed. there is to be the Church Christmas program with a turkey dinner first. We plan to attend that affair.
We must begin to wonder what we will need in Phoenix. This letter is for the family. I should have written to you H. & Jean before you left but I don't get to things like I might. If I have a room with more than the 1 bed one or more of the girls can room with me & that will be fine with me.
Roberta, I hope things are shaping up for you & every one has a safe trip in traveling. See you soon.
Grandma
