Dearest Family --
Since Dad wrote the last letter -- it seems like a long time since I have written -- guess it was last year. And now it has been 2½ days since I began this one! I have been trying to doctor myself for sinus infection and finally ended up going to the doctor this morning. Dad made the appointment for me for I'm sure he is tired of hearing me sniffle and snivel and etc. After recovery there is always the good feeling of how great it is "to have good health".
Sunday evening was International Family Dinner Night at Wilmington College, which we all enjoyed. There was a good turnout as there are some forty foreign students at Wilmington College. Two boys from Japan sang in Japanese, a pianist from Austria and three girls from Thailand gave a dance. Dr. Kim's family was there and they have two children with the American names of Jean and John.
On Monday, Mom went to Dayton for the monthly library meeting and Dad his weekly Monday meeting at the Courthouse, which was one of the big meetings of the year as it was the organizational meeting. The big challenge coming up later this month is the appropriations for the 32 departments. Some of these programs are no more than keeping people off of welfare.
Having been sharing a ride to Wilmington with two other people one who works at the Courthouse and the other at the Bank. Vera Baker, an employee at the Main Office, fell on the slick floor and hurt her shoulder. The spring thaw has been on this past couple days, so have been riding a bicycle again. The weather has not been bad as the wind has not been strong.
Mie Young seems to be getting along fine . . . sure glad we have the two bathrooms for with their daily hair washing, the rest would be called patience. She has a couple of classes with M.V. and seems to enjoy going to the square dance class on Tuesday night with us. We, oldtimers, who graduated last March, are still learning things in the new class lessons . . . perhaps the third time around we will get some polish. It has also been adjustment for M.V. for no longer is she the only child here. We have yet to master the pronunciation for the basics, such as "Good Morning" in Korean, and we thought Spanish was difficult.
Phyllis was on jury duty Monday, but they settled the case out of court and she was back to Wells around 10 A.M. The Salisburys are leaving this Saturday for two weeks for a trip to Florida -- it will be their first and they are planning on being around Kissimmee. Florida has been in the news about the COLD weather.
Georgialia Hannah is speaking at the Christian Woman's Club luncheon tomorrow. Mie Young and Mary Virginia are planning to go along with another friend of Mary Va.'s.
The box from Arizona came and was full of surprises -- had never seen a Bible like that one but have been making good use of it as I should be teaching the Sunday School lesson next Sunday. Anxious to hear the tapes but both tape recorders need new batteries. Mary Virginia's bookends too are very pretty and unusual. Many, many thanks.
[Love, etc.]
