1981 Catherine's Letter -June 15

Monday morning, June 15, 1981

Dear Mother, Dad & Mary,

Hi!  Here it is the beginning of another week and from the looks of it outside this morning we may at last be in for some summer type weather.  Saturday was very cool, windy and cloudy here.  Sunday we had a brief shower in the morning then it cleared up in the afternoon but was still cool.

We took Wendy to Day Care on Saturday while we played nine holes of golf -- had intended to play 18 but the cold weather discouraged us.  Then I took Wendy to her friend's birthday party at the Grizzly Bear.  There were over 30 people there including the children, parents, and family.  A little big for my taste and she got so many presents everyone else got restless while she was opening them . . . .  Wendy had a good time, though -- the Grizzly Bear was there in Person -- or in costume might be more accurate and that was a big thrill.

Yesterday we took Wendy with us and played 9 holes of golf.  She was dragging by the time we got to the 8th & 9th holes but she did pretty well.  Afterwards we went out to dinner at Wong's and had some Chinese food.  We'll consider that our Anniversary Dinner until we have a chance to get to Bend -- possibly in two weeks.  We need to do some shopping and we haven't been there since February.  

Thanks alot for the anniversary card and the check.  It was very much appreciated.  I bought a salad set that has a pepper mill (which we needed badly), a salt shaker, and some serving utensils.  We will consider that as being from you!

[more random letters]  The line at the top and this one are notes from Wendy.  Let me know if you can figure out the code.  We are going to leave early today and go to Safeway before work to turn in some film to be developed.  This includes pictures we took in Chicago.  We finally finished the roll yesterday.  So maybe in next week's letter we can include some pictures.

Thanks for the clipping on Bend -- I had just read it at the library before going to the post office to get your letter!  Gerry was able to read it though!

Thanks again!

Love, Catherine, Gerry & Wendy
