We have a lot to do in the next few days before my mother arrives, which is anticipated for late Thursday.
Will your mother be staying long? She doesn’t, as a rule, does she?
I don’t think my mother liked me very much, but she wrote to me every week, and it’s OK that it was out of duty. She used to send a couple of dollars in every letter, and that was usually enough to feed my Favorite Son for a few days.
There have been times when I wish I could get one more letter from her, even without the money! ;o]
