Mabel Elmblade: Sept. 17, 1928 La Grange, Ill.

Dear Friends,
I hope you had a good week. Mine involved a little much snow, cold temps and dealing with the end of a kind of sinus pressure. But I survived. So if you survived, pat yourself on the back.
Anyway, here is the next letter from Mabel:

As always, for those that find it hard to read, here is what it says:

But might be real
some times.

To me she sounds like she is still morning her sister. This might have been what Grandpa didn't want to deal with at that time.
I hope she able to find the right guy for her and live a long happy life.

Here is the next viewer card from the "Wedding" set:

(2) Dressing the Bride.

If you are able to look more closely at the wall paper or maybe they are pictures.

Here is a picture for the scrap book:

Now We sing: Snow-ful Off to Buffalo

For the second time in a week Buffalo, N.Y., was crippled by a heavy snowfall over the week-end
as this picture indicates. Last Tuesday 19 1/2  inches fell and on Saturday almost 10 more inches
blanketed the city.

I just thought you enjoy seeing a snow fall from the past.

And here is a random picture for you to look at:

Not sure who they are. I do have a number of picture showing this tractor and guys. No idea what year this was.

Well that's about all I have to share with you today.
I hope you have a good weekend.
This Sunday I will learn if we will have a grandson or a granddaughter. She is due in June. Our youngest daughter is expecting.
I hope you will come back again soon for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your friend,
Sandy
