1978 Roberta's Letter -Sep.18

[postmarked 9/18/78, Boise, Idaho]
Monday AM 8:00
Good Morning!

We just listened to the news – sounds like we made it out of Yellowstone just in time!  And just can't believe the heat wave you all are having!

We are now in Ontario, Oregon, just at the border of Oregon/Idaho.  Stopped yesterday at Boise – saw the capitol – RR station – which looks like a Mission place on coast of California.

I bought a sweatshirt in Idaho Falls – my new sweater I got in NYC – now looks like a sweater I've had since high school – I've lived in it since we left Denver!

Serena's car is doing fine – rides nice – gets good gas mileage (about 20 mpg) by keeping lots of stuff in 1/2 of back seat – except for the sides of the trunk – I keep empty – so very easy to get chair in & out.

We stayed at West Bank in Idaho Falls – right on the water – the tumbling water.  $18 for the 3 of us –$29 if we had faced the water.  Marion's sister has a nice house – full of everything – lots of which Marion had made or gave her.  They took us to this old house – turned restaurant.  We all had sandwiches – their 14-year-old daughter K.... had a $9 steak!

Love, Aberta
