Dear Mother, Dad, and Mary,
Hi! It's back to work and Day Care for Wendy and I today after our unexpected day off. At least it will be an easy day for me as Dr. Woll has gone to the state dental convention today and tomorrow. I will be working alone in the office today and then I will have tomorrow off. We will be seeing patients on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday this week.
Tomorrow is the day the library board is going to Bend for lunch. We are going to the Riverhouse where we have never been so it will be a good chance to check it out and find out if it is a place Gerry and I would like to go back to. We go to Bend so seldom -- every other month maybe -- that we hate to take a chance on someplace if we haven't hear anything about it. Oregon magazine reviewed maybe half dozen Bend restaurants in their latest issue, three of which we haven't eaten at. One is a French restaurant and one a European of some sort which has a fixed menu which changes every two weeks. The other is an Italian which we definitely ought to try.
We had a good dinner at home the other night with chicken livers fixed from a recipe in the microwave cookbook, with rice, and a fresh broccoli and mushroom casserole. We figured it would have been $9.95 at a restaurant -- quite a savings!
We got our refund from state taxes last week and have our check ready to mail to the IRS today for the federal taxes so we have that out of the way for another year. We should be able to send you the remaining $200 after the 15th. We certainly appreciate your advancing us the money and helping us to subsidize Amtrak.
We got the box you sent on Friday. Thanks. We have been using the new towels and dishcloths which certainly come in handy. Wendy has been playing with the purses and she has eaten several meals with the "Wendy's" spoon. Thanks for everything. We also got most of the things that Gerry gets as a bonus for his large pre-season order from Tisco (Tractor Implement Supply Co.) The telephone answering machine (which we have set to go on while we are at work but mostly for the summer weekends that we aren't home all day but Gerry's customers need to contact him). We also got a printing calculator, a set of silverware, and a digital alarm clock. Gerry also got a cart for his golf clubs similar to mine but a little fancier. Two items are yet to come -- a Coleman sleeping bag and a suitcase which has wheels on the bottom which DeeDee will like.
Better get ready for work now -- hope everything is well in New Vienna. Are you still going to North Carolina?
