Stoughton June 22nd 1947 Dear Doris This is a sunny day but cool for the time of the year. around 70(degree) much warmer than yesterday. the foliage is green from so much rainy weather, my roses are looking their best, most of them are in bloom. the peonies are just beginning to blossom, the spirea tragelia bushes are mostly gone by. I have a large boquet of the mountain laurel in the house which I picked in the middle of the week, they keep longer than any other flower. The Colcords came to call last night, just before dark. we had just eaten our supper. Gregory his wife & sister they stayed untill my bedtime. he had grown awful fat since I last saw him & lost his upper teeth. so it was very hard for me to understand what he said althoug he talked loud enough. Miss Colcord looked very nice she hadnt changed in looks. She spoke of her friend Miss Atwood & guess it was a great loss to all she is one who thinks much of her family. they gave a car to Mabel on her graduation. It seems good to have plenty of sugar to use. We are going to have a fish dinner mackerel a change our fowl lasted all the week & there is some left. she is home to day. didnt go to church. the neighbor over in the next house got her sunday paper. her husband stayed home to care for the children. he was laying out on his back
