seeing & I am just crazy to get a squint at it. Fred offered to take his wife & myself down but Pa vetoed it by saying, when you folks come home, they would want to see & then they would have it done, they said the blood roots were still flourishing & as florists they have lots of patronage & are doing a good business. I think the place has gone into the right hands at last. I am going to see our old place the first chance that offers. he wants to put that back where it originally was, before they put on the "monstrosity" that spoilt its looks.  I went over to Nellie Toomeys Friday afternoon, she seemed pleased to see me & wanted me to come again, so now everything is smoothed out at last & its much better. I should never be intimate though, as I used to be for they don't want neighbors running in as you very well know.  Our new neighbors the man plays in the symphony, Nellie thinks; they seem to be nice quiet people with one little boy. hope to see you soon.
