1978 Catherine's Letter -Nov.20

Monday
11/20/78
Dear Mom, Dad & Mary Virginia,

Hi!  This will be a short letter as Gerry will be home soon for lunch and I'll have him mail it on his way back to work.  There has been more trouble here with the mail boxes.

We had our first snow storm Saturday night and yesterday – about six inches.  We still made it to church though.  Wendy made it through the whole service without getting too fussy.  She ate an apple and then cleaned out my purse.  They had a coffee hour afterwards (a once a month affair) so we got a chance to meet some more people – including the Dr. I had taken Wendy to about her eye.

Later in the afternoon we put Wendy in her snow suit (which arrived last Wednesday and one of the snaps has come off already so I may have to exchange the leggings) and took her out in the snow.  She just sat and looked at it.  We took some pictures so after we finish the roll we'll send you some.

Your letter arrived on Friday and glad to hear from you.  We'll be looking forward to talking to you on Thursday.  We are going to the house of one of the women who works with Gerry.  She is real nice and it should be a good dinner – around 3:00 in case you get this on Wednesday which is doubtful.  We are furnishing rolls, sweet potatoes & salad.

Lat Friday I went with Judy (the woman who works with Gerry) to a luncheon/fashion show at the Elks Club.  Gerry took Wendy out to lunch.  It was a break for me to get away from Wendy and she did fine.

Gerry has joined a group of guys who play basketball at the Jr. High (about 4 blocks from us) from 7-9 on Friday nights.  He came home exhausted this past Friday but said it was a good work out.  Maybe this week he'll be in better shape. 

Got to fix lunch now . . . .

Love,
Catherine, Gerry
& Wendy
