Grandma has the watch this evening so Grandpa came and spent the time with her while she writes her letters home. She reports that they were both sick, that she is feeling better now, but Grandpa is still fighting a cold.
"My cold is gone now & Bud's is practically gone. He doesn't have to work this week so he's going to sleep & lay out in the sun & try to get his pep back. He has been working very hard."
She also reminds me how much happy they were together. They still celebrate their month-a-versaries.
"You asked if we still celebrate the 26th. Bud always gives me some kind of a present - depends on how much money we have. One time it was a bag of gumdrops."
My boyfriend and I don't celebrate our month-a-versaries any longer, but it might be a nice tradition to bring back up. Even if it just a bag of gum drops.
They went out for dinner and dancing for Grandma's birthday. They had a lazy Sunday afterward. They attempted to go fishing, but then lost the hooks. They also cruised past a baptism in their little row boat.
"... we saw some revivalists having a baptism. It was really something to see. They were really carrying on. I'd read about those things but never realized they wrote of they so truly."
Wouldn't that have been a sight to see!
