Heather: Does that mean that in addition to flying, the mourning dove only walks while the robin hops as well as walks?
A: Oh, I think so.
A: Oh, I think so.
Audrey: I do not know yet.
I’ve seen the outside of Amber’s new house. I’ll see her sooner or later. She gets in here every other thing.
Audrey: “Oh, she’s awful old now. She walks slowly with the walker. She is 102! There is also someone in here who is 103 years!”
Audrey: Children are just getting out of a white van. Children come here on special days. We talk with the older children.
I have the best window. It has pretty woods and stones outside. I have birds here as Spencer put the bird feeder right behind my window. I sit here and look out at squirrels, birds and butterflies. It looks wet so it will kind of be a wet day.
Audrey: Oh, all the houses I lived in were big. Now I live in a mansion (Alpine Nursing Home) but I only have one room, but it is enough. [Laughter] I’m reading –oh I can’t remember–wait a minute. I’ve got to back-up in my chair and go over and get it. The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw. Do you know Tom Brokaw? That Tom Brokaw’s book is cute. I like the picture on the front cover. I guess it is a couple who are saying “good-bye”. The Greatest Generation, that’s the book you sent me. The only thing that is sad is people getting killed. That drives me crazy.
I lived through all that war.
Audrey: That is good as he has girls and now a boy to carry on the family name.
Audrey: I’ve been reading and sleeping. I’m a great sleeper, you know. I like quiet. I feel pretty good. It is sunny today.
Audrey: She is very quiet and always reading the paper. She stays in bed most of the day. One doesn’t have time to talk if you are reading. I read all the time.
“Edith, my sister, she’s living you know etc. (Edith died on 12-8-1991) Oh, I got some news to tell you at Alpine. I don’t think I’m a coo-coo, but I go like a flash, etc. Heather, I can walk out of this house and get in your car. (At this time Audrey was mostly using her companion chair for mobility.) I can walk ever since. My feet still seem a little heavy (but) I go, etc.”
