1978 Jean's Letter to HH -Jan.25

Tuesday Wednesday – 
Jan. 25, 1978
Dearest Harold ––

So good to talk to you on the phone yesterday and thought of other things afterwards but – another time.

Also glad to get your letter, clippings and Grace's letter with picture.  Her little girls are adorable & look like Les.

Wendy is sitting in the bean bag chair which we just unpacked today.  It had developed a hole somehow just before they left San Diego.  So Catherine had to sew it before it could be used.  We thought at first we'd have to empty it completely of the plastic beads but she was able to fix it without doing that.

MV & Cathy rode downtown this AM on their bikes, Gerry bought one in SD before he left – just like the other except brown & a little lighter & newer model.  They got a lock for the bikes – real sturdy and a gift from the shop thru the Welcome Wagon – a can of Instant Seal 'n Air.

Wendy was awake when they got back so we took her for a walk in the stroller to a grocery nearby.  It is a huge place but absolutely no business – aisles are empty so wonder how long they can exist that way.  There's a 7-11 store on way where we compared prices.  Milk is cheaper 75¢ for 1/2 gallon and 1.50 per gallon against 79¢ and $1.60 at the G-Mart.  It is a beautiful day so we all enjoyed the walk – not real warm but nice.  Cathy had wished for gloves – if you see a pair on side of closet – not too heavy but long in wrist length you might bring them.

We are waiting now for mailman so no doubt will come while I write.  Just made some baked custard while Cathy fed Wendy and M.V. just took her English exam with just one more to go.  Marion helped her thru the 3 hard health exams – even borrowed a book from Roberta's school as Marion thought M.V.'s book worthless.

Cathy got birthday letters from G'ma w/ birthday money which she may put toward a desk for living room.

There is a Greyhound station but haven't looked at any schedule as we think we'd like to meet you at S.F. airport or at the very least San Jose.  Hughes Air West and United are some of biggest that fly in to San Jose.

Mailman just here now so will close –– if I'd been home I'd just have my Woman's Club program over ––

Miss you very much but looking forward to seeing you Tuesday ?  ––

Love to you and John too if he is home this weekend.  Anxious to hear about his Washington weekend.

With much love ––
Jean & M.V.
