1988 Family Letter -Aug.3

Wednesday, August 3, 1988

Dear Family:

We miss having Wendy around and look forward to having her visit us in 1989.  Having her around brings back many memories when our family was that age.

Serena has been going thru things getting ready for the move to Peoria.  Plan to drive out on August 13th and return on the 15.  She starts her job on the 16th and has rented an apartment.  The Hortons have some good friends in Peoria and may go out with us.  It will be an interesting development.  Uncle Bill will return from Florida this Friday.

Tomorrow morning we leave with the Harners for Hamilton, Ontario for the square dance convention and then on to Toronto for the Am. Bar Meeting.  We will be gone for a week.

Our refrigerator has been acting up, water in the wrong places on the inside and outside.  Seem to be getting the run around from the repairman.

The grass has really greened up  and mowed the yard for the first time in about two months.  Our garden is really nothing because of all the dry weather.

We have talked with all of you recently so there is really nothing new in this letter, tho we could repeat that it is still hot here.  MV is busy going to school and working part time at the book store. . . she will be home the last of this month.  People are always asking us how she is getting along.

Serena and John plan to get together this next week.  John is hard to reach on the phone, we think that is a "good" sign.

We are really happy with our new minister and his wife . . . he is a retired Air Force Officer, so has a wealth of practical experience in getting along with people.  He remarked that something seemed to be missing in his material life so went into the ministry as a result.  This is his 4th year as a minister.

[Love, etc.]
