On The Phone

Saturday September 12, 1992

Up at 8:30, breakfast and a one-mile walk at 9 a.m. Don't feel too well today. Crawled back into bed at 10:30 with chills and slept 1 hour more.

Cathy Thomas called to invite us to dinner for Lisa's birthday. Verna called to invite us to potluck and card game next Saturday night. Phil returned Frank's call while he was gone. Called Mom. So wasn't cleaned up til 2:15. Feeling some better. Called Maria. Gary's sick in bed with stomach flu.

At 7:30 we go square dancing. It's an ice cream social and Happy Squares. We have a great time. I feel good and do well.

Mom loved to talk. We would talk about once per week and be on the phone for 2 hours or more. So even though we lived 400 miles apart, we were still very close. I am starting to realize that it wasn't just me that Mom would be on the phone with for hours! Her social life was very busy.
