we play two games every day. it helps to pass away the time. occasionally I can beat her. she is a good player though. we get careless then we make some foolish moves. no one comes to see us & it gets lonesome. she is no talker unless she gets excited. then her tongue flies fast enough. we have just had one afternoon tea with my biscuits & gravy. jelly & doughnuts it sounds more than it was. as we neither of us were hungry. one dont get hungry inside the house & not working much. Our is often has not stated to build yet. he is around & so is the little song sparrow & a little woodpecker. we have the squirrel but have not seen that little rabbit. he was here all summer & late in the fall. a half grown one. guess he did not survive the cold winter. I have just called w/h Alice on the phone. she says she has got rid of Mrs. Hattie Peckard. this morning, Mystic told her she has gone over to Mrs Tildens. she keeps a regular boarding house. she got on Alices nerves so the Doeton told her she must get rid of her. she has had his five years. thats. thats long enough she feels. she will have to pay more board & probably it will be a place she will like much better. as Mrs Tilden is a very good cook & things will be more to her liking. at any rate Alice has got id of her Perey hated her. it is hard to be out in the world at the time of life without a home & no one wants her. I am sure her sons wife dont want her. Ive would keep her were she alive. I guess Alice misses her mother & always has. I do, she did her share in life. now I am glad she finds peace at last & is happy & hope. Ma. she had to work too hard & was always poor & did lots of good in life.
