"The
life of a cook in rush week! By not
working at the library, I did manage to get supper on--early at that, and hurry
through the dishes so I could journey to Wellington to skate with the Jinx
Janes. We had a grand time as usual
& I ate a whole 'nother meal afterwards--we had hamburgers & cocoa at
Lois Mae's house...
"Your
orchid did cause a splash. People
mentioned it even yesterday after I quit wearing it. As sensible as I am, and unimpressed by
material things--supposedly--it still did something. But it was the love & thoughtfulness
behind it that mean more--and I still have those, even if the flower is a
little tired-looking."
--Letter
from my mother, Winfield, Kans., to my father, Protection, Kans., morning,
Tuesday, November 11, 1947. Jinx Janes was a women's pep club at Southwestern
College.
