Dear Family:
We have just finished dinner in the living room by the fireplace. Leon Salisbury has been cutting down some of our old trees so we have plenty of wood to use. The DP&L crew is also to come and cut out some of the bigger trees.
Today at Church was "Women in the Pulpit Sunday." Ann Bailey, a teacher in the New Vienna Schools spoke on the provocative subject, "Zipper Your Mouth." The Bell Choir had the special number and we had a good turn out. Jane Ann Hause ?, her husband and their baby were at the services.
Yesterday, we went to Wilmington in the afternoon, made a stop at the new Super X Drug Store in Wilmington and got a few of their specials. Supper time found us at East Clinton High School where the Band Boosters were having a supper for fund raising. Think it was the first time we had been back to the high school for a long time.
Last Wednesday we took off in the truck for West Virginia. We stayed at an old country inn, the the Wells Hotel in Sistersville that had been in Country Inns, the one the Morgans gave us a few years ago and the ones put out by Norman Simpson (Country Inns and Back Roads). The next morning we went a few miles north to Paden City to get a load of marbles. They have quite a facotry there where we saw it in operation and also the Corning factory just across the road.
We just listened to the tape Mary Virginia gave us for Christmas (hadn't been able to find the tape recorder) and enjoyed it so very much – her synthesizer is used along with some background tapes really is a wonderful tape: something to cherish for many years to come. Also played the tape that Roberta sent us that Anne Hamilton had been sent by her family on her 72nd birthday and found it enjoyable and glad she was willing to share with us. They had written new words to Yippee-eye-oh (spelling?) and it was so clever.
Interested in hearing how Serena's classes at Roosevelt are going as well as Roberta's at Phoenix Community College on meal planning. Both of Serena's are math related – computers basic & possible college algebra. Talked to her on her birthday before any sessions and not able to reach her afterwards yet. Yes January is a birthday month for Carol, Catherine and Bill Horton also have birthdays to celebrate this month. Glad to have had X, John, another couple and their two children spend part of last weekend with us.
It was nice having John and X and their friends here last Sunday and Monday (Martin Luther King Day). We hated to have to leave them Sunday evening but couldn't talk them into going to the concert at Wilmington College where Mary Virginia was singing and playing. Mie Young's parents were there and they stopped off in New Vienna afterwards to see John and meet X.
[Love, etc.]
