1990 Family Letter -Nov.25

 

November 25, 1990
Dear Family:

We had a great day Thursday with Serena, M.V., Don, John AND Julia here.  We are all, of course, looking forward to May 18, 1991.  About 3 P.M. we went to Grandma's house so the help could have some time with their own families.  Things are going well as the three of them rotate on 12 hour shifts.  

Friday was a beautiful day.  Wells was closed, so it was a good opportunity to work outdoors and there is always something to be done.

Yesterday was N.V.'s Christmas parade, which Grandma commented on.  Last night at 8 P.M. there was a dinner dance at the school house.

Yes, we have been eating turkey soup.  The turkey was 19¢ a # (with $50 grocery order) so really a steal with four or more meals of turkey left over.

We have been wondering how Don & M.V. survived their flying trip to Macon, GA on Friday and Saturday.  It was nice they could be included in the wedding party.

Serena, we did patronize the bookmobile when it was in NV on Friday . . . it is here an hour every other week.  Dad took out a book about a fellow who rode a bike from the Cape to Cairo.

Do you think this typewriter is an improvement over the last letter which we wrote to all of you?  When I learn to use it correctly it will help and the "correction" key is a big help too.  There are many other features too to learn about.

Dad didn't tell you that he wasn't feeling good enough yesterday to attend the festivities -- had 24 hour virus or something but felt much better today -- at least he said he felt better and went to Sunday School and church.  Joyce brought G'ma and came and got her afterwards and then came up here for lunch -- had mostly leftovers from Thanksgiving no turkey but ham instead which she shouldn't have but gave her very little of that.

I forget the typewriter is on for it runs so quietly.  Don't know what I do except hold down the space bar too long most of the time.  Maybe I'll learn eventually.

We are looking forward to hearing how the AZ people in our family celebrated Thanksgiving.  It was nice having the ones near us here though it was brief but very good.
