Today we drove down to see Aunt Catherine. Anna, Mot, Mom and I went to see her. She just moved into her new building. It's very big and realistic. They call the main hall Main Street. On Main street, there is a cafe - that we got fries for the road. Main street also had a hair salon. We talked to aunt catherine about how much movies cost. Aunt Catherine said it was 15 cents to go see a movie. And they used to go to the Irving to go see movies. When Aunt Catherine was a kid, they did not have alot of money but they had a good time. Pop thought that they were going to camp all summer, but really they were living in the tent. They picked blueberries and took baths in the lake. Grandpa Myers got paid $15 a week from the WPA.
Grandma Hildebrant bought seed for them to plant a garden up on Finch Hill. They had corn, potatoes, squash, green beans and tomatoes. Grandma bakes 20 loaves a week. We brought down my new art kit that I got for Christmas. Aunt Catherine really liked it! Aunt Catherine said they got crayons, new pencils and coloring books to draw in. We drew pictures for Aunt Catherine to hang in her room while we visited. I drew a Hibiscus that you can only find in Hawaii. Anna drew a Christmas wreath and I also drew a Christmas tree. Mommy and Anna drew the whole group of us visiting with Aunt Catherine. After we were finished drawing, we took a tour of the new place.
We saw the physical therapy room, the chapel and the parlor. I liked the physical therapy place the best. I think I want to work there when I grow up. The whole place was decorated for Christmas all pretty. Aunt Catherine was very very happy to see us. She showed us her pictures and here Christmas cards from the school and family. - Carolyn
