"Use to (or 'used to'?), we would go over ter Aunt Jenny's twict a week."

I believe that is just a shortened version of, "It used to be that we would go..."

My dear, my dear--it is so very lovely to be graced by your words once again. If by lance you mean pen, then I must believe it has grown rusty and blunted through lack of use here. You have just cleaned and sharpened it a bit, and I know it will take very little effort to get that writing instrument in 'mighty' perfect working order once more.
Oh, I have to say it again: how I love you!
