1978 Roberta's Letter -March5

March 5, 1978

Hi, Family!

Seems hard to believe that it was just a week ago, we went to the lake picnic-ing!

The weather has remained warm but – oh – the rains – as I said today – the only way now you can get from here to Scottsdale is across the bridge in Tempe.  It's going to make it rough on Marian & many many others.  She didn't go into work on Friday but according to news & sources it was taking 2 hours to get from here to Scottsdale – 1 hour plus just to get across the bridge.

I just got done Watching Alice – did you all see it?  It was Mel's 50th birthday.

This last week has been a crazy week at work.  Dorothy was out 1 day – flu – Pat was out 2-1/2 days and both Jeanie's were out Thursday & Friday due to the floods.  Perhaps this week things will be back to normal – though I will be off Wednesday & Thursday – have permission to go to a seminar in Scottsdale w/ Marian – it should be good.  It is being put on through the Scottsdale Schools – about motivation, goal setting, stress release, etc.  I have to go in at night & type bulletin & absences – but I'll be paid for at least 1 of the days I'll be gone.

We went to Mandes' [?] last night for dinner – now Marian will have to cook a big meal for them.

I made up both orange juice and grape fruit juice today – the electric juicer is still not working – so some time is involved.  But – oh– sure tastes good!

Same Time Next Year – was really good – but oh the traffic – lined up to go across the bridge – took us 45 minutes to get to ASU – place was full ––

Love, Roberta
