Heather: Hello, Mother, what are your reading today?
Audrey: I don’t know. I have a hard time remembering everything.
Audrey: I don’t know. I have a hard time remembering everything.
Audrey: The trees are so pretty. There is just enough wind blowing to make the tree so pretty.
Audrey: Yes, I sang that in school. Beatrice and I must have sung that many times.
Audrey: Meagan, she is a very pretty little girl and she is a good little girl. Mathew, he’s jolly. There is always a big smile on his face. Brian, he is working all the time. He is very busy, he is in college. Kelsey and Kaitlyn are so darling and Kenya is such a helpful big sister. They are the cutest kids. Mark will be so happy to get a boy now that he has his girls. Jessica, she a jolly little girl, always dancing around and always full of life. She is very cute also. Ian. I’m so happy they have a boy as they already have their girls. Emma, she and Hannah are darling. Hannah is getting older now. I haven’t seen Stephanie’s baby yet. She will get here sooner or later. She will bring him to see me.
Audrey: It is a beautiful day today out here. It is nice and warm. Doug visited and he looks good. He and Vaughn are going (to Nova Scotia) because Doug is looking up the geneology of the MacDonalds. Of course, we had aunt Mandy write all about the Spencers before she died.
Audrey: I don’t know how old she was when she started or whether someone before her had started this. I know she kept it going.
Audrey: Yes, Mother took care of a lot of persons. She took care of Grandpa’s mother, Anna Maria, (when Anna Maria was aging.) Anna Maria had (a medical condition) where liquid would run off her legs because of all the years she stood in front of that hot old fashion stove, cooking and canning every summer. She would can every summer all summer. She would can all of the crops that Richard grew in the garden and send them all to Richard. … and Grandma (Mary Jane [née Vaughn] Spencer) bandaged Anna Maria’s (pronounced Mar-eye-ah’s) legs daily and took care of her.
Audrey: Yes, I was just a little girl when my grandmother died. I would stand there in front of that big box thing and I knew it was my grandmother.
Audrey: She married Rich. All she had to do was bring her money over here. She had a lot of money, but she had to leave the money in England.
Audrey: I don’t know.
