Dear Harold & Jean –
At last it has warmed up some what. With a week of Feb. with us it certainly is time for a little warmth. Mary & Bill were invited out for early supper & to play cards afterwards so I have things all to myself.
Yesterday we had a busy day for 2 ladies asked to "borrow" the use of the house for a meeting of the U.M.W. monthly meeting. They brought rolls & Mary furnished the tea & coffee & dishes for them. There were 23 present. There are folks who would like to have the meeting but lack room, dishes, & chairs.
Bill is getting over his cold be degrees. Rob & Cindy have both been out of school for several days this week with colds.
We have had 2 letters from Joe since he left N.Y. He is in Indonesia, U [?] bird Bali – Says it rains every day sometimes & is damp & hard to dry anything. Scenery very pretty. A lot of frogs which bother his sleeping. Using candles for lights. The bath room is ?
We attended a concert last Wed. night given by a group of men 5 from Canada. They really were good. I used Mr. Garrets ticket for he has been ill & in the hospital for a while. He has arthritis for 1 thing. He can't find a way to be comfortable.
I am having a time with these new hearing aids. It is hard to get them placed right. Mary is a help but I must learn myself. They don't slip in as easily as you might thing.
We had a letter form Mary V. today & she plans to come to Fla in March which is fine. But so far you are all coming at a different time. So if you want to be here at a time when anyone of the family comes it will be to you folks for it is too much for me to write & make arrangements.
A week ago the Meth. church was broken into & several things were taken of value as well as a few minor.
John Bankhouse [?] had his bicycle taken & is now using Bill's (which he does not use.) Mary's has a flat tire.
It is my bed time.
