Wendy's birthday
Dearest Harold and Mary Va.,Got along fine and arrived in San Jose right on time with all the family there to meet me. Hope that you got along OK with the plastic on the couch (at least that it didn't rain). Sure hope it fits in the corner where the other one did.
I kept thinking about you all and what you would be doing. Roberta says Grandma & Aunt Mary got along fine & the former is a better adapter to conditions than the latter.
We jut had a big chef's salad, with the tomatoes, cheese, cucumber and carrots which came from Ohio. They had turkey, ham, lettuce & red cabbage. Had planned to have Wendy's cake but she got tired of her high chair.
Everything arrived in good shape and they never checked if I was bringing in fruit or produce. Roberta said they hadn't checked them coming from Oregon. Gerry & Catherine had to show them their cooler & they checked every container in spite of their saying they had none.
Wendy got the cutest toy – one side is a slide with two steps and when you turn it over it's a rocker. It's shown in Sears Catalog. She has also learned to crawl through it.
Mary talked to Bill & Rob & they are getting along fine but are tired of keeping house for themselves. They called Grandma "a home wrecker." Rob's school had to let off two teachers but since he is an "interim" he was kept & thinks he stands a good chance of keeping his job for the teacher he's replacing is from Ft. Lauderdale & may look for work nearer there after her baby is born.
We are all sorry that you aren't here too especially for the birthday. Should hear soon about housing in Madras but if not they'll drop me off at San Jose on their way north either Thursday or Friday.
Anxious to talk to you tomorrow and hear how the bands activities went Friday and Saturday and baptism on Sunday.
Love from all of us ––
Jean (Mother)
