Always enjoy the write-ups, but one thing really stuck out in this last one--the use of "t" for "ed." My husband's gr grandmother left little diaries--like composition books, written in pencil. When I first began typing them, I saw the term, like, "John past." At first I thought someone had died, but when the person appeared later, I finally realized, she meant "John came by their house" and probably visited for a little while. Now I realize it wasn't too unusual. Ellen Moore
