Welcome to the Love Sweetie Podcast!  In this episode, Sweetie writes about what was occurring at her home in Doylestown in May 1952.  She provides updates on the work that she and her husband, Lew, are doing on their property - specifically filling in an old well that had become a hazard to others, regardless of the protest of Miss Darst.  Then we review three postcards from Sweetie's father, Chester Demaree, M.D. and finally a long letter that he wrote to his daughter, Lizzie, in the middle of May 1952.  In this letter, Chester remarks on the late spring season in the midwest, and comments on it being a busy time for the agricolae (his term for the farmers).

Check out the website at www.lovesweetiepodcast.com for the family tree, overall timeline of her story, and information on the previous episodes to catch up as you are able to - there is something in Sweetie's story for everyone!

The Love Sweetie Podcast is a unique historical project that features real letters from Kathryn Frances Demaree Graham a.k.a. "Sweetie" that were written during her lifetime.  These authentic letters are narrated and commented on by the hosts of the show (who give context on what is being discussed).  

It should also be noted that the vernacular in the letters, as disclaimed at the beginning of every episode, are part of the real historic text from 1952, and do not reflect the views of anyone associated with the Podcast, including the creator and the hosts.
