Heather: How do you like the first drafts of the Memoirs that I have been sending you?

 
Audrey: I laugh at everything. I laugh that it actually happened. When it was happening, it was dull. When you read about it, it is interesting!

Heather: Hello, Mother, how are you?

Audrey: I’m fine! I’m doing crossword puzzles. I’m on the second crossword puzzle. I have to look up the answers for some. When someone comes, I’ll give it to them and say “here, you try it”. See how smart you are. I’ll see if there is anything I know for sure.

Heather: I hear you went to Stephanie’s baby shower?

Audrey: Deardra took me to the party. Yes, it was a beautiful party. I had a lovely time. Stephanie’s baby will have the Spencer blood. (B.J.’s mother’s birth name was Margaret Spencer) Isn’t that amazing?

Heather: What have you been doing lately?

Audrey: I’m packing and picking things up. I’ve got plenty of room. I have this plastic thing (magnifying glass). My sight is not good anymore. I take this glass and put it over words. I love this glass. It is just great. It is not heavy. This magnifying glass comes in handy.

I have spells where I’m awfully tired, and then I don’t. I sleep a lot, because I like to sleep. I have a great time. I don’t have to worry.
 
There are yellow birds, three or four at a time, that are at the bird cage. I’ve got this bird cage and the birds ate all the stuff. Here comes some squirrels. There goes the first one up the pole.

Heather: What was life like for your parents when they sold the homestead and bought the house on 742 Washington Street?

Audrey: Grandpa was thrilled to give the horse a vacation and get an auto. A man wanted to buy the horse. I can not remember if we had a horse in Anthony or not? I can’t remember if and how long we had the horse in Anthony.
 
I remember when we had a trolley go right by the house. In one ice storm, it skidded off the tracks into Grandma’s front door. There was little damage.

Heather: I never knew that.

Audrey: Oh, you don’t know that! The front of our house was so important because the door is a very special front door. The door was very valuable as an antique. The front door was always there, but seldom used. I remember some people wanted to buy the house because of the front door. They stood there the whole day arguing as both wanted the house. I laugh now as they stood there with their scissors (tool to take off the door) to take out the front door. The old folks are easily turned to do things they didn’t want to. I’m glad I was there.

When Aunt Edith would come with little babies, I was the number one baby keeper.

Heather: Did you ever think that you would have seven children?

Audrey: No, I love my little babies. That was so fun, the baby part of it. And to think I had seven! That’s a lot! Now, I would think and not have so many babies. They just came along. I just loved my babies.

What, Oh, they are coming for Bingo. I’ve got to go. Love you.

Heather: Hello, Mother. What have you been doing?

Audrey: Deardra came. I’m in my chair and we go out. Everything going fine! Stephanie and her sister look  just alike. Been out and walked around a lot. I was with Deardra.

I called Dawn. She’s got a boyfriend! He was a college professor. He is a “gentleman”. He is older than she. Spencer couldn’t get over it! (he was surprised but happy for her).

Amber and Crystal pop in. Amber bought curtains yesterday. She is having lots of fun. It’s nice to settle down. She has her own car. Today, men and women both need a car.

Amber’s boyfriend is awfully good to her. He’s a good guy. I hope they get settled down and both enjoy their life!

Tell me. Who are you’?
